Another stunner

she really is, I’d love a 6’ tank just so I could have a pair of them.

I think they call it the super orange cocosensis royal angelfish and it has a price tag of 10000!

Ha! I meant this one.

Sounds good you should do it . Are most angels fairly easy or hard to keep . Between these and the wrasses you’ve got me thinking LOL

Angels are generally easy with some anomalies such as the regal Angel :)

Ok. It's a lemon peel with orange coloration from Tahiti. "Orange peel"

@icemountain

That may actually be the cocosensis Angel with a high orange colour (Likely the camera).

Hopefully @icemountain can clear up this mystery.

Looks the same just different colour and that one not to pricey

 

[Nano_Man]

This is all I can find close to it lemon angle

Don’t think I ever posted here again lol. Guess that’s what happens when you’re at Frank’s and in the Wrasse Lovers all day lol. I’ll chip in mine

@nano man uk I recommend one of these guys if you want to take the plunge with an Angel.

It’s a Coco’s Lemonpeel. See them in lots once a year, if that. Few $$$ more than a regular lemon without the extra color IMO. That picture is from this article:

Cocos island lemonpeel angelfish are the blue eyed boys from the Indian Ocean | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

And we mean that literally! The lesser known Indian Ocean form of the lemonpeel angelfish (Centropyge flavissimus), have eluded aquarists for quite some time now, rarely making it into the trade.

If you don’t mind what is this angles common name

Orange Lemonpeel is just a regional variant and not the variant from Cocos-Keeling and Christmas Island. Only the latter have a blue iris. The true “Tigerpyge” hybrid is the hybrid that naturally occurs between the Eibli on the very eastern fringes of its range, where it forms mixed species pairs and harems with the Christmas Island / Cocos-Keeling variant of the Lemonpeel. The “Tigerpyge” hybrids from Bali Aquarich use the Polynesian / Melanesian variant AKA the regular Lemonpeel that don’t have the blue iris.

How long have you had your Cherub? The Xiphypops angels have some pretty nice colors while remaining small.

About 4 months. Grown maybe an inch in that time, but it was clearly a juvenile when I got it

 

[Zionas]

Hope it does well for you. Nice fish.

It’s a little tricky lol. It’s a hybrid. Cross between the rarest Black Phantom, and the not so common Black Velvet. It’s a natural occurring hybrid. Yet super super hard to find, with the Black Phantom Angel being one of the rarest in the world. I’ve just put it as a Black Phantom Velvet. But don’t let that discourage you. Since it’s a cross basically all the traits from both fish are passed on. So any Black Velvet will give you around the same character and hardiness. This is a tricky pool to dive into, as so many of these angels look alike, there’s like 5 other types, and have natural occurring hybrids. Hopefully you find one. If you want some care tips and some experience I’ll be happy to help.

Their closest relative seems to be C. Septentrionalis, the Blue Line Angel which is pretty common in Japan, China and Taiwan although its entire range is unknown and the Vietnamese specimens look a bit different. They’re one of my favorite angels and one or more members of the “Velvet” Angels frequently hybridize with the Blue Line, the hybrids of which are sometimes known as “C. Cephalareticulatus” and “C. Chrysocephalus.” Hybrid phenotypes range from a more exaggerated and wildly patterned Blue Line-leaning, to an almost entirely Black / Grey Velvet appearance and many in-between. The taxonomy of this group is murky to say the least.

The hybrids are called “Maze Angels” and the ones with more flashy patterns are pretty amazing.

I’ve seen those and the Blue Line is one of my favorite angels. I’m considering adding one to my tank, but I think I’m going to go Regal or a larger wrasse.

Maze angels are cool. Especially the conspic and blue line cross.
