Not a deep water coral beauty, take a look at the anal fin.

probably half black and lemon peel hybrid ?

the yellow body and black ends seem like it,

the anal fin is nicer then mine, so I could be wrong.

That's a known Centropyge heraldi variant coming out of Vanuatu... they are known as Panda angels, and many have been collected... the exporter has even provided specimens for the DNA to be looked at and so far it says heraldi all the way, but there will be more to come on this...

Do you know the origin of your fish, and if you could share a price? Did the place you purchase it from know its origin?

For a couple of photos of similar specimens check this out...

Unfortunately coming out of Bali nowadays is like saying the fish came from Los Angeles... just got your PM and will follow up through there...

"Bali" sure sounds more palatable than " Indonesia"; for those of us who avoid Indonesian fish whenever possible. DD has listed some fish from "Bali" during the last few months. I griped about it. Its like saying it came from Samar Island, which sounds better to me than The Phillipiines.

Copps,
Browsing that link you posted of Rare Fish from Sustainable.... Vanuatu. Some of these hybrids and aberrant fish are outrageous!! Do you know of any distributors, retailers,
e-tailers that carry this collectors fish?? I would be very interested.
Not trying to steal the thread, so if you'd like to PM me, i would appreciate it.

And by the way, what a steal for a LemonPeel price. Good Luck with that beautiful fish,

Is there any chance that it will lose some of its appeal with time? As happens with some of the aberrant coral beauties?
