Chaetodon flavirostis. Not commonly available. Can be difficult to get to eat. If you see it eating at the LFS, grab it.
+1 to this, I couldn’t reply in time but it’s definitely C. flavirostris which is known as the dusky or black butterflyfish.
 
Thanks!

So what looks like a purple/blue color under those lights - is actually dark grey/black...
