In 2004 it was newly described as a new species. Previously it was thought to be a color variant of C. melanosoma, but now classified as a new species.

Okay...I wasn't going to post here cause I can't get a good pic of my Blueface
The pictures don't do him justice..He has beautiful coloring, unfortunatly, I am new to the art of taking fish pictures...They won't stop and say CHEESE!
:lol: Here ya go
my Blueface, my most BEAUTIFUL fish
My Majestic...He was dying when I brought him home from work [a freebe] he still has scars on his head which are slowly healing
Here's my Flame swimming with his tankmates
I also have an Argi...but I can't get a photo of the little bugger!!

BTTRFLYGRL- is that a racoon butterfly in your pic? beautiful fish. i have 3 tanks in process. 30G up and going with 1 perc clown(soon to be 2). wanted to put a red pearlescale in that 1 if there is enough room. my 150G which is going to have a purple tang, marine beta, soon to be lionfish, and soon to be miniata grouper if i have enough room(any opinions on that would be appreciated). i havnt started my 40G tank(which was a free gift-hate to see it go waste) and was wondering about a racoon butterfly and what fish goes well with it? i had a red pearlescale in my 55G and my coral beauty angel beat the hell out of it and eventually killed it.

I wouldn't put a Pearlscale in a 30, needs more room to live a long life They need peaceful tankmates and room to swim [I'd go no less than a 75, and to me that's a little on the small size.]
Raccoons are a little bolder than most Butterflys, but they can be bullied by more aggressive fish.
My Raccoon would chase off my Dwarf Angels ..He is not at all scared of my Tangs either. He is ,however, intimidated by my Blueface . The Blueface is the only fish that will chase off the Raccoon.
I had the Raccoon in the tank before the Tangs and Blueface..I think order of introduction is key [usually] I had him with my Yellow Tang in the beginning and the Yellow messed with him too much, so they were separated.
If you added a Raccoon before the Purple Tang and Lion and let him get established, he should be fine..Not sure about the Grouper..IMO, It would need a bigger tank.
Remember, if you add the Raccoon..you'll never be able to have corals. That's my excuse for having two tanks

i hear you on the corals as the 150G will be a FOWLR cause the lionfish or grouper(if i get one) would eat my cleaning crew. i just love the pearlescale(my wifes fav. fish) and was tempted on flushing the !@#$%^& CB down the toilet, but realised its not the beautys fault for my lack of knowledge of the 2 fish. thanks again for your help.

Yep, Marine fish are territorial. Dwarf Angels can be mean little buggers. I had originally put my Flame in my reef when my reef was a 75...My Flame went straight to my Arceye Hawkfish and start smacking him with his tailfin:eek2: And I was worried about the Flame getting his but kicked

Well I finally got a few pics of the blueface angel, he's still very camera shy. One with flash and one without.

Butterflygirl: Your BF looks good even at that angle, lol. And flames are still top of my list, looks like yours is a beautiful male. The majestic looks like a tuff fish!! I wish I could say the same for mine. The poor guys died of velvet. After my tank goes through being fallow, Im gonna get another. What size is yours?? They have one in Diver Den, but it is almost 6 inches!! Ive heard they dont adapt well at that size. And Marine Center has a 2 1/2 inch one, but ive never ordered from them. Anyone have experince with them?? Im gonna QT my new one alot longer that my last!!
KT: Im glad you got a pic of your BF!! The pic with out flash really brings out his blue. I gotta say im liking the BF's better now. Ive only see one in real life, and they are really cool. Oh I cant wait to get my angel tank going again....

OOOHhhhh, if you want a home for the zooanthid snacker... I'm allergic to zooanthids and can't get them all out of my tank!!! I would be happy happy happy to get a fish who would eat those and leave my sps alone. Evil zooanthids. Nasty palyotoxin things. I swell like a blowfish every time I stick a naked arm into my aquarium ever since my bad allergy reaction, and to make it worse, now even mushroom corals do it to me. Not as bad as zooanthids though. Honest, don't laugh, zooanthids freak me out so bad I can't even look at them without getting goosebumps.
