    That is a tomini tang. I sometimes hear them referred to as flamefin, or yellow fin tang.

    If adding a powder blue or a sohal, you might want to add that as the last tang. Both get mean.

    Chevrons are awesome, when they are juveniles. Then as they get big, they get not so special looking. For the $$ they cost, I wish they stayed the colors of the juveniles. the cheapest I have seen a juvenile chevron is $125. The good thing about chevron's is that they are a ctenochaetus, or bristletooth tang.
    Achilles are very sweet looking tangs. They seem to be less aggro than many other acanthurus, but not as docile as the orange shouldered.

    Chevron tang is what I was thinking as well. Black tang is not that interesting ITO looks, but they are definitely rare. I say get one of each.
