    The problem with this fish is it's coloration is different depending on what region its from as it will mimic the local angels in that area.Juveniles mimic Centropyge spp.; in Guam, juveniles mimic C. flavissimus but at Palau where this species is absent, they mimic C. vrolikii. It can be very confusing. Adding to this confusion is the fact that they also change colors when mature.;) If your fish looks like the one you have pictured its from Palau and is mimicking the Half Black Angel C.vrolikii.
