looking for pic of mature eibli tang

I've got this juvi eibli that I took in from a friend who was moving. I just recently started trying to find more info about him and I can't seem to find a picture of a mature fish. Im guessing it will look similar to a chocolate tang but I don't know. Anyone have a eibli that's all grown up?

If you do a search on RC for mimic tang you should find some pics of what it will look like as an adult.

If that's mature then it doesn't look much different from juvi. Is that yours? Age?

the mimic tang gets a dark gradient on the back of its tail instead of staying dominantly "silver"

I started a thread a couple years ago with similar questions. See post 11 here to get an image of a wild Acanthurus tristis in the adult form.

I figured you searched by eibli tang since that is what you called it in your post. A search by mimic tang should have brought up several results, including the thread crvz posted. They are cool fish, probably my favorite of all of the tangs I've owned.
