this is the black mimic tang (Acanthurus pyroferus) - it has various common names, mostly to do with the colour (black, chocolate, etc). It does not mimic the halfmoon angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus).

the juveniles mimic various species of dwarf angelfish (the exact species depends on the location - it is very interesting). I don't think there's any firm explanation for why?
