Is this a Potters Angelfish or Fishers Angelfish? Something else?

[skinz78]

I was recently at the Seattle Aquarium and they had a exhibit set up of purely Hawaiian animals and they had a pair of these Angelfish in it. Any idea of what they are?

definitely a potters, but a very nice one... has an interesting color pattern.

It was a pair of them and they were both that color, unlike any other Potters I have ever seen.

About how big was that guy it looks like mature coloration

 

[OMG Corals]

Definately a Potter's. Very nice indeed.

 

[skinz78]

It was 3" to 4".

Yeah I'd say that's the mature coloration I had one in my old 75g that was really close to that I think they get prettier the older they get but they also become very destructive from my experience !

 

[skinz78]

LOL good to know, I really wanted one, but not if they get destructive.

I ran across a picture of a blue and black potters this morning. They say it was caught in Kona.
