Your pic...

Looks like a singapore angel imo (Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus).

Not an angel... but rather a butterfly... Chaetodon trichrous, a close relative of Chaetodon kleinii (what was suggested on the other board)...

+1 on the butterfly. My first thought when seeing his pic

I see !- I was id'ing the pic posted by Chibils lol. Now I have opened the link I can see it is a different fish - C trichrous.

I thought it looked like a butterfly but I didn't recognize it. After going through every butterflyfish pic on fishbase a few weeks ago (to pick my dream butterfly), it didn't look at all familiar.

Been seeing these at the LFS lately...quite attractive in person. Anyone daring enough to put it in a reef? John, c'mon, you're daring

I'm about to put a pearlscale in my reef... Wish me luck.

P.S. I'm prettttty sure it's not going to go over well, but that's why mysis comes in cubes for easy capturing.
