If you like the Maculosus, I'd recommend the Asfur angel instead. They are from the Red Sea, so quality of the fish is up there. But for a 125gal, the Asfur will stay smaller. Mac's grow to be a pretty large angel, Asfur's stay smaller, about 10" max, have seem to have a very slow growth rate.
For the Cortez, have you seen the adult? I hate to call a fish an ugly duckling, but an adult Cortez is just not I'm angel I'd have when there are so many other more beautiful angels out there.

not the one you were asking about but it's called a rock beauty. nice looking angelfish, mine is great and he is active and reef safe. Very docile but very high energy. entertaining fish.

Rock beauty is pretty common.I want a centerpiece fish.I like the koran and Annularis,but i guess they get big too.What is too big though?I mean it would be the only 10+ in. size fish in there(if it even got that big).and it takes years right?Anyway,the asfur is cool ,but not as purple,more blue.Everyone will say ,your just gonna do what you want anyway,but thats not true.Thats why i'm asking opinions.Thanks.

The Blue face angel for a tank 75 - 100, but the queen and emperor angel are also very nice- they need at least 150 gallons
