Looks like some sort of Tang..... why the hefty price?

If you can convince somebody to pay $30K, then it's a $30K fish
It is a Tang. Looks kind of sickly but seems to be eating well. Maybe a $30 fish
.... who do you think is catching them there... the locals... you gotta catch it ship it safely, and then hope that it can safely be acclimated into your tank.... and pray that it doesn't have anything transferrable to your other fish and coral.... I think that it must be some sort of rare coloration.... in all my years of dealing with saltwater fish I've never seen one with that coloration/pattern.
I can't even find Yellow tangs for sale these days.
Even if that's true, how would you get it back home? I used to do it, but now you can't carry on enough water to place it in the overhead. If you ship it there's a good chance it will die in route over great distance without very special packaging and handling. I still wouldn't pay that much for a fish though.
Not sure if the Ban has lifted but there was a ban on collecting ornamental fish from Hawaii which is where most of the Yellow Tang collections come from.
The peppermint angelfish is known as one of the most expensive fish in the world with $30,000 being the highest listed price. And there is excellent reasoning for it! Collecting these fish requires a specially trained diver to reach nearly 400 feet down into the ocean.
A masked angelfish can sell for $20,000 and are a prized catch for divers in Hawaii. However, this species may not be as scarce for hobbyists for much longer as it has been successfully bred in captivity. This has not occurred on many occasions, but with the extreme difficulty it takes to breed some saltwater fish, this is a great start to these angels being readily available in the trade.
