Black Angelfish?

[kjr_trig]

SWF always seems to have in stock the Black Angel...Is this the fish more commonly known as the Gray Angel? The only pic they show, is of a juvinile, and they have no discription of the adult. The juvi in the pic looks very similar to the French juvi (thus also the Gray juvi). I googled Black Angel, and it only showed the freshwater variety, Gray's get quite large I believe...too large for most tanks.

If you google image the scientific name; you'll usually get better results. ...Pomacanthus arcuatus. Common names for critters varies so much; but the latin name really pins it down. Many scientist-types only list their info this way. this is one fish that looks as boring as its name, IMO!
