    Wow, I can't find this thing anywhere!

    Maybe it's a super rare fish. ;)

    It's a splendid dottyback incase it hasnt already been mentioned and while they are reef safe they can become very agressive
    The picture you have of it doesnt show its true colors as it must be stressed out but will eventually develope some black as well as some other nice colors
