Do you have a better photo?

 

[Murica]

No unfortunately. I zoomed in on the one I already posted to see its markings better.

Blueface, beauty!

 

[Murica]

Thanks! I think there was a mix up with my order it’s supposed to be an emperor. It happens…. I love the source I got it from so im not too distraught about it.

Looking at the bodyshape, a xanthometopon is unlikely. The overall shape is more triangular - similar to Asfur or Maculosus

That’s a blue ring angle

I guess that would make sense since it says asfur on the side hahaha. I’ve never heard of it before

I’d say the body shape again isn’t correct for this juvenile.

Any ideas where it was collected?

Oh…dear. I gave false info, my bad. Gorgeous fish!

If I’m honest, Pomacanthus juveniles are a pain to ID and as they get smaller it becomes harder as the patterns haven’t always fully developed.

Thanks for the help everyone

You ordered an emperor? It's definitely not that. Juvies have circles. I see it's labeled as asfur (P. asfur).

I can look through my stuff when I get home. There's a handful that it can't be.

Here's an emperor

Thank you for this but it’s an asfur. Not a huge deal already being handled by the supplier.

Thanks!

Are you sure? How?

These are the 9 Pomacanthus that are tough to distinguish.

This is so cool. Nature is amazing.

With the lack of a white tail I’d say Annularis is unlikely.
