If anyone is looking for an eating Bandit Angel, they have one at a lfs, The Fish Gallery, in Dallas, TX. I was in there and saw it for myself. It ate flake and frozen mysis. It is about 5" in length and very stocky through the midsection. They do have a $600 price tag on it. I was half way home before it ocurred to me that I should have taken a video and pics with my cell phone. If it is there next week when I visit again I will do so.
I did come home with a Mystery Wrasse for $95 and 3 King Damsels.

How rare are chaetodontoplus vanderloosi?
I picked one up today labeled as a poma, but it is looks exactly like ones in Scott Michaels book except that the tail has more yellow and less black in the middle. I can't find much more info than what is in Scott Michaels book.

I'll get pics as soon as I can. I don't want to spook him yet. He was very shy and he came in with ich so I am treating him.
Nick,
Thanks. The picture link doesn't work anymore. Only two pics I have seen are in Scott's book. Only just around the face is grey. Everything else is black, except the tail is VERY bright yellow. It's about 4 1/2" long.

LA,
that is an awesome find, hope everythign works out this the ich. I have been talking to a LFS by me to get the various "poma" varieties. I like the vanderloosi and the diminitus(sp) which has alot of grey on the uuper portion of the body.
Can't wait to see the pic's.

OK. This is a relly bad pic. from when I was acclimating him. I'm still almost certain it is a vanderloosi, but if anyone sees something I don't let me know. Once he's settled in I'll try for better pictures.

He's doing pretty good. I did cure him of the ich with Cupramine. Not a great eater, but ok. I have to do multiple feedings with him.
No, I've been so busy. My wife had a scheduled c-section on Friday so I've been so busy with work, child and wife.

LA,
Congrats on the little one, I mean the baby!!
The vanderlloosi isn't suppose to have a solid yellow tail, only the margins of the dorsal, caudal, and anal fin are suppose to have yellow on them.
If it was me I would say it is a vanderloosi since the whole blue spot/poma/yellow faced, etc grouping is not well defined.
Keep up the good work.

Congrats on the new addition to the family.
Looking at your pic and the Angelfishes and Butterflyfishes by Scott Michael, I too think it is either a hybrid or another Chaetodontoplus. If you look at page 258, it could also pass as a Chaetodontoplus cephalareticulatus, Maze Angelfish. The grayish dull coloring around the head is not as spreaded as the pictured fish though.

Thanks. It is a joy, but talk about lack of sleep.
They are supposed to let me know when the collector sees anymore like this. I read somewhere that it may have a yellow tail with some black in the middle. But like RA said that whole group has to be more defined.
