Definitely not a naso. Other than that, I have no idea.

It is definitely a juvenile coloration and is a Naso spp. Juveniles are notoriously difficult to distinguish to the species level.

It looks like a (Naso) Vlamingii, but it's hard to tell. You going to get him?

I dont know, if it IS a vlamingi (thats what I 1st thought) then no as I already have one. I special ordered a Naso Streamer (hopeing it comes in tomm), L or XL, so I rather give 80 bucks towards something that I want vrs something that I have.

Maybe a juvie Acanthurus nigrofuscus Brown Surgeonfish?
