I think You want this:

The Pacific Blue Tang is also referred to as the Palette Surgeonfish, Hepatus Tang, Blue Surgeonfish, and Regal Tang. Like most tangs and surgeons, it is easy to recognize because of the oval body shape and bold markings. It has a deep blue color with a "painter's palette" marking on the body.
Pacific Blue Tang requires a 75 gallon or larger aquarium with a number of hiding places and plenty of room to swim. It is tolerant of other tangs, but can occasionally be aggressive towards other Blue Tangs. It is more susceptible to lateral line disease, fin erosion, ich and other skin parasites than many other fish.

The Pacific Blue Tang feeds on algae and other vegetarian items.

Caution: This species has a scalpel-like, razor-sharp spines on their sides near the base of the tail. This gives them their common name "Surgeonfish." The spines can inflict a very painful wound.

The best thing to do is to ask the person you are buying from. You'll find a lot of different names for the same fish, and mistaken labeling. Just tell them you are looking for Dori, most fish people know who that is....LOL....

These fish are NOT easy to care for; very susceptable to parasites. I believe in nature they also prefer groups; it takes a huge tank to reproduce that environment. Plus, I'd say most of them have parasites by the time they're in the lfs. Just be prepared to deal with this...oh yeah, now I remember. I'm pretty sure Inland Aquatics is tank rearing these tangs. This is something I would highly recommend looking into; even if you spend extra money on the fish, you're much more likely to have success keeping them if they're tank raised.

My blue tang has sooo much personality. Like a kid. Got him and my 2 blk/wht clowns when they were all small. The tang thinks he's a clown also. Now that the clowns have started hosting my torch coral, it's driving the tang crazy...so he tries to get as close to the torch as he CAN. He goes where the clowns go. Period. Fun to watch the personalities. And beautiful of course.
