[Fluff]

juvenile emperor angel maybe?

 

[soupy11]

Koran angel? http://www.saltwaterfish.com/m-fish/Blue-Koran-Angel-Juvenile.html

 

[WarOrks15]

it is the koran angel the imperator angel has an "O" by the back fin.

 

[quarryshark]

Yup, a Koran. Beautiful as a juvi!!

But they get so BIG. I wanted one for my 150 but I'm afraid of trying to catch him once he gets too big for the tank.

They do get big, but according to liveAquaria, can be kept in a 100 gallon tank? Some of the other angels have much bigger requirements, but this guys seem to be a bit smaller. Not sure why, perhaps they don't need as much swimming room?

[ChrisB]

there are other juvenile angelfish that look like that
i cant remember any right now but i recall seeing about 3 different kinds that look like that

 

[Jessethebody101]

Definitely a Koran Angel.Emporers have cicles that form "o".

 

[Sparky]

They also lose that beautiful strping after the reach adulthood don't they? I remember reading about a fish that looked similar but not sure if it was this one.

 

[Jessethebody101]

Yes.But, they also get unbelievable coloration when they are adults.I have a Juvenile Emporer angel and he is changing into an adult.When they do change,obviously,they are adults.You can see what the difference on sites such as Live Aquaria or Marine Depot live.
