Sorry for the poor photo quality, at the lfs and they had heavy blues on the tank and didn’t check the photos till I got home…

I love angelfish colors, just wish they were overall smaller and more reef safe
Well, "reef-safe" is open to interpretation. I have an emperor angelfish in my mixed reef tank and so far the only thing he's 'pecked' at is the occasional nuisance paly (the bland kind you don't really want in your tank anyway). The dwarf angels will absolutely rip apart acans and blastos, so those are no-go. The emperor angel, one of the tangs and the angels all tore up a cat's eye - so doughnuts and cat's eyes should also be considered a delicacy.
 
Maybe… just a strange pattern towards the back. The other one in there had more bars

are these still being offered as captive bred? Not sure if that is a possibility but they seem to come with squiggly bars much like the captive regals did

That looks just like it!

Welp… guess the Acan I’m picking up Saturday will live in the sump if my coral beauty starts eyeing it
 
I think that's the leading candidate (I don't think it's a queen or a king juvenile).
Just wanted to say;
The King (Holocanthus) Angel is the same as a Passer Angel.
