Oops, sorry Pipefish. I seem to have posted right on top of you - I guess we were writing at the same time. Glad that I came to the same conclusion as you though.

Looks like a intermediate phase Princess Parrotfish. Notice the dark borders on the tail.

Thanks to both of you. It looks just like the pic in the book, I don't know how I missed it!
