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 :)

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

Could be

Or this

Hopefully @icemountain can clear up this mystery.

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

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:

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.

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.
