Ctenochaetus cf. striatus

Ctenochaetus cf. striatus, commonly known as the Lined bristletooth tang (colour form), is a medium sized tang. This might be a local variant of the regular stratus or it might be completely separate species in the future. It does look a lot like the regular striatus (which is already quite variable) but the lines are more straight compared to scribbled and overall it has a lot more colour.

It can be aggressive towards other tangs and food competitors, but will generally leave other fish a lone. A great algae eater for a medium to large sized tank.

Like other tangs, it will eat meaty foods, but it's important it can graze on algae/seaweed the entire day to ensure it will stay healthy. So feed flakes/pellets multiple times a day and make sure there is always seaweed available.
