Unknown pseudochromis

[BANDIT ANGEL]

I know it's a dottyback but I'm not sure what its scientific name is.
Any ideas?

Perspicillatus is a very uncommon dottyback. In singapore we get two to three philippines and indonesia shipments every week but i rarely see Perspicillatus!

There are two other v similarly looking dottybacks both of which are not available in the trade:

Pseudochromis Pesi (Red Sea)

Pseudochromis Jace (New Guinea)

Thanks, it's lucky to live in Taiwan, the LFS has about five Perspicillatus and each one costs about USD13.
