At the Ga Aquarium and saw this fish that I presume to be a tang but can you guys help with an ID?

Definitely a surgeonfish (Acanthuridae). You can tell by the keel on the caudal peduncle that looks a bit like a scalpel. I believe this is the doctorfish (Acanthurus chirurgus).

I think it's an Atlantic blue tang. I know ocean voyager is packed with them.

Honestly don't know but its a nice looking fish. Is it yours?

So far lavender tang seems the most accurate but I'm still not sure lol

I think it's Acanthurus coeruleus aka Atlantic Blue Tang.

Nice fish - they get HUGE.

Agree with others as far as Atlantic blue tang
