I just got a pygmy angel and the color looks off to me. I was wondering what it looked like to you folks.

I believe it is a yellowtail. not positive though. I sent a pic to Frank at Reef Culture, waiting to hear back...

that fish is for sure a Centropyge flavicauda, similar to the cherub but instead come from the pacific-dont see them to often but they are relatively inexpensive compared to other dwarf angels. I have one in that 1,500 reef and he does really well. I just moved that tank last week-I will post some pics of the aquascaping later-I wanna know what you guys think

Frank from reef culture suggested a C. fischeri
