Had a tank years ago with one of these fish in and can't remember the name of the fish I think it was a type of butterfly fish, anyone know the name as I'd like to get one for my tank now
Thankshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/facfa9d64a05e3e14c9ece2297fc32f4.jpg

I’m going to chime in and name it beautiful. FWIW, my guess would be angel, too.

That would be a lemon peal angel with a dot.

Also known as a juvenile. To the OP, it's a rock beauty juvenile. Definitely not a butterfly

Never seen a rock beauty with a blue ring, even at the juvie stage but a little google research just confirmed it.

Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkTo me it's a fake Lemonpeal Tang. So as a juvenile in looks lile a Lemonpeal Angel but as it matures it changes colour.

As the 'experts' have opined ...... it's unambiguously a juvie Rock Beauty ..... I've had mixed success with this fish. My first try stayed with me for over 5 years; the subsequent one, not so much.

Completely different fish my friend. It is most definitely a juvenile Rock Beauty and a very young juvenile at that.
