Here's my adult yellow mimic -AKA Chocolate Tang








Very Hardy and eats like a pig. Tries to be the boss, but not overly aggressive. Most under rated tang IMO.

Mimics are an awesome choice for tangs and one of the best acanthurus species for sure. I have several pics in my gallery of mine from the time he was a tiny juvie to his current 4 inch sub adult coloration. Just a great fish.
