Is this really a Flame Angel

[airwreck]

I recently purchased a 90 gallon setup from a guy that was moving out of town and it came with what he called 2 angelfish. He said that one was a coral beauty, and it is, but he said that the other was a flame angel. When I got to his house, this is the fish that he was calling the flame angel...

In my experience I've only seen flames that look like this...

So what do I have? Is it some other variety that I've never seen before or is it some other species and he didn't know what he was talking about. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I thought that it looked kind of like a tomato clown without the stripes. That also explains the aggressiveness towards my Yellow stripe maroon. Off to the LFS he goes...

Thanks again.

It says that they are peaceful but in my experience I have known them to be on the aggressive side. Especially once they have a territory.
