What do you guy think about my CB

[gunnwong]

I just bought the Coral Beauty Angel today and I think the color of this fish is diff from most cb out there, what do you guy think?

Sorry the image is not too good, but I think the fish have more orange than most cb out there, or is he have some kind of heal problem?
Thanks for looking

Is he possible hybrid?

Looks like an aberration, but I don't know as much as I'd like about most angels (read: Centropyge, Holacanthus, Pomacanthus, Apothlecthys, Paracentropyge).

Maybe its the pics, but he looks kind of sickly.

That what I thought too, he first look kind of sick but he still eatting. I will wait a few week and see if his color changing or it will remain the same.

His head looks a lot like a rusty angel, Centropyge ferrugata and so does his body coloration. Though I haven't seen a rusty with that much blue in the fins. Possible hybrid? I don't think the fish looks sick, I think that may just be his shape and dirty glass.

Here is a link to a picture of a rusty:

I think he looks a little thin in the head, the colors there look washed out and mottled and his body colors are not very bright.

I've seen several CB's with a lot of yellow/orange on them, thought not quite as much as on this specimen.

If you don't have him in a reef tank or have him in a QT, I would suggest feeding some Prazi to try to deworm.

That what I try to do right now try to fatting him up. I try fresh water dip but no fluke found. I think he just being skinny, maybe couple week he will be fat and hopefully color not changing to regular cb.

How's the CB doing?

 

[gunnwong]

He doing great and now he pretty fat and eat a lot. He seem to be diffrence from most cb I see coz most of them seem to be able to hold their teritory pretty good but this guy alway got chase around the tank by my Multicolor angel and my Personifer Angel.
But he doesn't seem to be stress or any thing( no ick).
One of my friend want him so I might give it to him on his birthday, so he mgith be gone in couple week.
