Two different species of surgeonfish. One is an orange shoulder, the other is mimic. The coloration is normal on both. Beautiful fish you have there.

What was already said is true, you have an Orange Shoulder Tang and a Mimic Tang, which in time will become a Chocolate Tang. The Mimic Tang will change from yellow to darker brown colors and the Orange Shoulder Tang will go from Yellow to Orange and the body will have have a line through it, where the one part is darker than the other. Also, if you introduce other large Tangs the Orange Shoulder Tang, depending on the size, will go back to looking like the yellow all Juv colors.
