Mimic surgeonfish - Acanthurus pyroferus

The coloration of this little juvenile tang (Acanthurus pyroferus) is a perfect mimic of the lemon-peel pygmy angelfish, Centropyge flavissima, right down to the iridescent blue markings. He will slowly change in color to a rather dull olive brown when adult.
