Did I get sent the wrong fish?

Got this guy in today. The whole order was a bit of a mess. I was never notified that it was shipped. End up being shipped Monday and I just now found out it’s been sitting at FedEx since Tuesday. The other issue is I ordered a asfur angel. This looks like a maculosis to me.

The yellow stripe appears to be developing into the dorsal fin which is more characteristic of an asfur. The maculosus have the defined freckles but your fish has a yellow tail also. That is almost certainly an asfur

Who said you order from?

Not an expert but I would think that the light blue leading edges of the pelvis fins might just indicate a Pomacanthus maculosus.

Sorry, meant pelvis fins. (corrected above)

I’m not sure. I really don’t think so. On asfur’s I’ve never seen the yellow extend to the tip of the dorsal like it seems to be starting to with this one. Also the color overall seems too blue. My fish looks pretty identical to this example from google

I’m going to wait until I see how it is handled before mentioning a vendor

Fair enough. Thanks.

I'm more of a coral/invert person, but after looking as some pics online, I agree with this. Also, if (based on the last pic you posted) you got it from where I think you did, I quit buying from them years ago. They've really gone downhill.
