What fish is this? Emperor angel?

I'm putting a YouTube link because it tends to not work when I put it on here directly. This is an Emperor angelfish right?

Wait maybe not an emperor angle. Idk, I'm too new at reef keeping. But it's a pretty fish. I've learned, the prettier, the harder to keep

Not emperor. I can’t tell you which one because there are several that look similar when young. I’m sure someone more knowledgeable than me will tell you shortly.

Yeah I figured, I'm pretty sure juvenile Emperor have a circle on their tail but it looks so similar

It’s closer to a Koran but again there are many that look similar. Every juvenile emperor I’ve seen have the circle on the back like you mentioned.

Oh yeah it totally could be a Koran. Looks almost identical. I tried a front on view from the glass but the tanks were so cloudy. I don't normally go there, I just needed copepods and I was in the area

After doing a little googling it looks more like a blue face than a Koran to me.

Man I don't know. That looks exactly like it too. All I know is one it's an angel so I don't want to risk it with my corals, two I only have a 90 gallon tank, and three I just simply can't afford it
