How to tell juvi dussumieri tang from yellowfin tang?

[SC50964]

I am eyeing a tang that looks like a juvi dussumieri at a LFS. They don't know what it is so I guess it's up to me to figure out. For all the tang experts out there, pls tell me how to tell juvi dussumieri from yellowtail tang (Acanthurus xanthopterus).

Stare at it for 40min, if it winks at you it's a dussumieri!

I had one for a while from a buddy that had it for 4 years but it grew to 14" thou it cant turn in my old 300 gallon reef tank properly.

Ick is not close to be as deadly as velvet nor flukes. Run a UV or ozone or both to control the outbreak if your not patient enough to do 72 days of fallow and qt every livestock for 15days via TTM or 8 weeks with copper. Hyposalinity never works for me.
