I bought a beautiful tang this weekend called a "Doctor Fish". I can't seem to find any information about it. It's body is black with a white tail. Is this the right name?

You might be confusing the name with "surgeon fish". All tangs are called that becasue of the little scalpel near the tail.

What color is it?

Oops. I see black and white.

Dunno?

Possibly acanthurus chirurgus, aka the Doctorfish.

Ok, I found a few pics of doctorfish and don't think that's what I have.
It is definitely a TANG, it's body is shaped like a blue tang.
All black body with a white tail. I will try and get a pic
Does anyone have any ideas?

Does that look familiar? If so then you have a Unicorn Tang
