Can you get a better picture? I'd guess koran at this point.

 

[auem]

need better photo...seems to be Koran..............
if somebody is super lucky it may turn out to be old woman angelfish(Pomacanthus rhomboides):lol2:

 

[Barracuda]

Based on the blurry pic/ pattern, it is either a "Koran" or a "Six-Bar"

Koran ( P. Semicirculatus )

I think it looks more like a six bar (Pomacanthus sexstriatus) than a juv koran. Juv Koran has a much more narrow white bands than the one in picture.
The picture below is a six bar.

Juv Koran has a much more narrow white bands than the one in picture.

Check out pics of REALLY tiny juvi's...

 

[shaka]

The curvature of the bands of a juvenile Koran are greater ( more pronounced ) than a juvenile Six-Barred, especially when nearer the tail. A juvenile Six-Bar has straighter bands with maybe a slight curve at the ends of each band.

A juvenile Six-Bar and a juvenile Blueface have similar shaped bands ( very staight ).

Impossible task... If I can throw an answer, it would be Pomacanthus chrysurus.
It can also be a hybrid, or some endemic variation of basically any Pomacanthus...

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Nuts. I was counting on help here!

 

[SDguy]

:lol: That picture is our fault?

 

[Allmost]

hybrid, half ghost half koran angel.

Clearly a carcharodon carcharias. It's been rumored that these need only a SLIGHT amount more swimming room than most tangs.

 

[shaka]

I agree with Pastey.

you guys know it's not a shark, right?

Not by that photo, it could easily be a baby Loch Ness Monster based on that provided picture. :lmao:

My vote is a juvi Koran.

 

[Pastey]

you guys know it's not a shark, right?

A whaaaat?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Jah...we need a bigger boat!

 

[Pastey]

That should be the new slogan for the Tang Police.

"You're going to need a bigger tank!"
