Hi how are you, my question is I was on Manhattan reef forum I put these pictures up of a confirmed Zebrasoma Rostrum hybrid from the Polynesian islands and not a scopas . I asked if anybody has seen any similar fish one reply said your store gets a few of them a year I would like to know is this case true and how often and when can I come and grab one????

Yep see a Black Tang, Scopas Tang Hybrid. Which means one parent was a Black Tang and the other was a Scopas Tang. That is how you get a hybrid. It will show characteristics of both parents. Your pics defintely shows that it is a hybrid and the coloring shows it.
