Fish ID?

I just got a catalogue from a company that sells fish and fish related products. I have not purchased anything from them they must have gotten my name somehow. I will not mention the name because I don't want to cause trouble here, I would just like to know what the fish is on the cover. The initials of the company are P--S

[hr]
. The fish is Black and yellow stripes on the face and white and yellow-orange stripes on the body. Looks like maybe an angel? Anyone else get this catalogue and know what the fish is? Otherwise I might call the company and ask them.

I can try to scan one in later but I will have to cut the title off because it is on the cover of the catalogue, I guess I didn't mention that earlier.

I dont have the catolog but cant think of any Angels that look like what you said, IDK, several Butterflies do. The Ornate BF is one that comes to mind.

I evidently don't have the same issue, but my mag tells you the name of the fish on the cover on the back of the mag just above your name and mailing address. I am looking at the April 06 issue and on the back it says "On the cover Unicorn Tang." This should help you out.

Dogstar you were right! Ornate butterfly, I emailed the company and they told me. They also said you can't have these in a home aquarium. BUMMER! This fish is cool! I wish they wouldn't put such things on their covers if you shouldn't keep them. OH well

Yep, there right. The Ornate and others are know due to their exquisit beauty but nearly impossible to keep. Known as obligated coralivors. Quess what they eat ??
