The intermediate tangs still have the yellow tail. Adult blue tangs are all blue. Plus, the name of the show is a big clue.
 
Ok will take everyone's word for it.
Will try to get one but, like a young boy in a candy store with no money, my dreams will be crushed if it doesn't turn out like the first pic i put up.
