Are half-black mimic tangs rare?

This is the one that mimics the )I think) pearlscale angel. I called Marine Center once and they said they never get them and if they did I wouldn't like then price.

I stumbled on one in a LFS and picked it up dirt cheap. Incredible luck or are they just not that uncommon? Actually I haven't seen another personally....

I have never seen one, if that means anything.

The one that mimics C. vrolikii or C. eiblii? Does it have thin yellow vertical lines on the side?

Well, ya know, I've never seen either one come to think of it. I've seen the one that mimics C. heraldi/flavissimus.

I've seen both the Eibli and Half Black Tangs. They seem to be pretty common around here in Montreal.
