almost looks like a gold flake angel to me? Google that and look at pics.

i would say a juvenile flagfin angel (apolemichthys trimaculatus)

they are considered relatively difficult to keep, dont do well with aggresive tank mates, need a mature tank with lots of live rock,get to about 10 inches.

as he get bigger would he get a full blue lips and white spot because this fish is so Bright Yellow, I think it should have been called a yellow angel so bright and beautiful

not a goldflake, but a flagfin (Apolemichthys trimaculatus).

the anal fin is a giveaway.

 

[sevendigitcake]

it will get the blue lips

Also there is no black on the dorsal, flagfin. Great pick up! How long have you had the fish? Did you QT it? And what size is your tank?
