    I was leaning more towards Pomacanthus maculosus, Yellowbar Angel. But I am no expert by any means!

    Def not a majestic that's for sure!!! Hopefully that doesn't pose an issue for you I know majestic angels stay somewhat small compared to the other large angelfishes and ca be kept with some corals as well. Not sure about that guy

    Pomacanthus maculosus

    So many different names for the same fish. Its common names include halfmoon angelfish, yellowband angelfish, yellowbar angelfish, yellow-blotch angelfish, and yellow-marked angelfish.

    I think that the Pomacanthus maculosus is a close resemblance to this little guy. Thank you all I was looking at pictures for a Majestic but nome came close. LOL Now I can at least do a little research. It's in a 125G so it has a little while to go before it outgrows the tank.

    That's why I use scientific names, especially when the common name could refer to another fish :)
