    Default Unknown Angel

    Can anyone help in identifying this angel.

    It is about 7.5 cm tall, the colours are almost exactly as seen in the photo except that the top fin also has the yellow hue when the light hits it.

    LFS was able to tell me that it was an angel but they did not know which, my fish book also does not show any of similar markings.


    Cheers

    Problem solved, It appears to be a juvenile Sailfin Tang.

    That will teach me to listen to the "expert" at the LFS.

    Can anyone confirm this?

    Cheers

    Robin.
