A pic might help a little, not a lot, just a little

I'm just going to throw this out there.. Most fish start out pretty small. If you are thinking of regal tangs (the disc shape is why I'm guessing this), they need a pretty large tank.

Edit: Or perhaps an emperor angel (another fish that gets large)

Yes an emperor thank you that's been driving me nuts

lol. wow great guess! Never thought of that one but now it makes sense.

What size tank is it in? They get huge, over a foot long.

A lot of the Pomocanthus</em> angels have similar markings and color in the juvenile stage.

Thanks. I figured it made more sense than the blue regal, which is pretty commonly known. All you have to do is say Dory lol

Cam, this is the same fish when it is an adult.

Here is a picture showing the various stages

This is one of my favorite fish. I really like the adult stage, I believe many people are turned off from this fish when they learn that the pattern changes. This fish needs a large tank. I wouldn't keep one in anything smaller than 175 gallons. Ideally, they need 200+

Edit: Also, WOW. What a shot.
