Not the greatest shot, but didn't have much time. The spots/smudges are on the glass, not the fish.
What rare angel is the least owned?

centropyge nox?? I get those all the time- very inexpensive. Never heard of C. cebu.
LargeAngels- how many species of angel do you have right now??

Just incase it hasn't been mentioned; The poll results here are totally skewed because people, understandbly so, have been answering the question in the title of the thread and not the question of the poll itself, which is an entirely different question.

C.nox is one of the cheapest angels you can get out of the Phillipines, very nice though.
C.cebu is new to me, I never heard of this species and dont think it's a valid one.
C.ballinae is hard to get, I never saw even one piece.
hceiv, C.resplendens x fisheri is not a new species, like you just said it is a hybrid.

JamesJR: Did you mean this new centropyge
Hormigaquatica: I'm starting to loose track. regal pair, venustus pair, multibarr pair, flame pair, potters, bluespot, vanderloosi, multiple flagfins, goldflake, pair of hybrid vrolik x flav., multicolor trio.
Centropyge narcosis is really rare, but not nox.

Here's a few wild images of C. abei described earlier this year courtesy of the Coral Reef Research Foundation in Palau where the fish was photographed at about 400 feet from a manned submersible. The holotype shown above was also collected there. Thanks to Lori at CRRF and as always Mr. Tanaka for the leads! Makes you wonder how many unseen species are lurking in the depths...

C.narcosis and C.abei are rare, I dont think C.abei was ever offered for sale as it is so new.
C.narcosis was, but very rare.
Largeangels, nice collection, you have any of them together in the same tank?

vili_Shark: Most of them. BUT that didn't happen overnight and I've found that some angels just have a personality of their own and don't play well with others so over the years some have been removed. Asfur, blueface and emperor didn't play nicely with others. Oh, I forgot to add the little gray poma.

You know, Ive been trying to find a good, clear photo of C. abei ever since I first heard of the discovery/description... thanks to both for posting those 
Yup, that looks like a totally smooth angel John. I'd love to have one.

Not really, it's a conscious effort on the part of the Centropyges themselves to confuse scientists & cause this type of speculation (Sorry - too much coffee naturally selects this type of posting)<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=8669317#post8669317 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by coralite
Is it me or is C. abei really reminiscent of the rarest angel of all, chaetodontoplus ballinae? Perhaps there is some convergent evolution going on with the deep water color pattern?
Wow, that is really kind of funny how different things can be in europe than in the united states as far as aquarium keeping goes. You guys have an easier time getting some fish and vice versa.
It would be pretty hard to get Potter's in the UK as they come from Hawaii. We have a hard enough time getting them in good shape and keeping them in north america, so I would advise you be very picky about who you get them from.
I read in an article once about this guy who visited an aquarium ocnferance in germany and how impressed the germans were with the yellow tangs the aquarium had and paid almost no attention to all the purple tangs.
