Google yellow eye tang and see if it looks alike I can barely see the picture it's to blurry and dark
 
Nah I figured it out.. the kid on Craigslist said it was a Blue Eye Kole Tang and I never heard of it so wanted to see if anyone on here knew.. turns out its also called a Two Spot Bristletooth Tang. Thanks tho!
 
Yup looked it up yellow eye is a kole tang so they closely related
 
There are several tang species with dark spots posteriorly on the dorsal and anal fins. It may well be Ctenochaetus binotatus (Twospot bristletooth/tang), but it may be one of the other species, such as Acanthurus nigrofuscus (Brown Surgeonfish). You should be able to narrow it down to genus by looking at the teeth when it is feeding on the algae on the glass - Ctenochaetus have very fine, brushlike teeth.
