Masked!! Females of them are stunning and the males are even nicer.
 
I've never actually seen masked swallowtail angels before! They're beautiful looking. Are they a Coldwater species?
Actually no! They are a warm water species. I actually hadn’t heard of them before I started researching for this tournament either!

I thought you would’ve seen these guys! They’re a close relative of the Genicanthus melanospilos and I believe also Genicanthus caudovittatus. They’re warm water species but collected slightly deeper down than other species are.
 
They are pretty unique!
I remember seeing my first ever female of these and then a few weeks later I saw a male in person, I’d never seen a fish so stunning (until I saw the Achilles Tang).

Haha I would have thought so too! I think whenever I heard people describing masked swallowtail angels I always assumed they were the Watanabei genicanthus angels or the other speices you listed I was already familiar with.
