are you sure ?it looks different than a regal angel ,my fish i an inch long

I was also thinking baby Koran..

edit: I just found a picture of a juvenile regal and that is definitely NOT a regal. They are bright yellow with white stripes as babies.

My best guess would be Holacanthus ciliaris, Queen Angel. The markings look almost identical compared to fishbase and other sites. Beautiful fish and highly prized once "show size," but definitely need large quarters: 100g+

Good to know Who'd you find the info out from? H. bermudensis is often confused with H. ciliaris as juveniles with the latter tending to have "bent" bars (hard to tell from angle in pic).

It is either a queen or Blue as juvies they are almost impossible to tell the difference
