I received this as a princess parrotfish, but I'm not sure after looking at some photos online. Just wanted to verify.

It is and not an ideal fish for aquarium. They need to gnaw on calcareous rock and they eat lots of sea grass in captivity. I used to sell these at my LFS and they were not long term fish in captivity
