Anyone know the scientific name for this fish?

I was debating between him, a yellow eyed kole, and a small sailfin. I ended up getting the blue eyed because he is kinda rare (not a fish I've seen very often) and was a voratious eater when they fed him, he grabbed the biggest piece of food in the tank over the other 20 fish.

I'm not finding much info about them on the net tho, I'd assume its the same as a yellow eyed, but I would like to know the fishes real name!

Was a good day for an algae crew, picked up the blue eyed tang, a lawnmower blenny, and an emerald crab for $55 after tax!

It's possibly a Ctenochaetus binotatus. Can you get a pic?

Wow, nice looking fish. So what other fish do you have with him? Any quarrels with tankmates?

Just a royal gramm I have had for about 3 months, my last lawnmower blenny died for no apparent reason after 4 months in the tank. The gramma has been a lone fish for about a month I'd say. 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 or 2 emerald crabs (I added 2 but can't be sure both are in there I know at least 1 is). and snails. I've been having some hair algae problems so I picked up the blue eyed kole, another lawnmower, and a female emerald crab today to hopefully help keep things in check.

Only quarells are the gramma and the blenny, every time I see the lawnmower try and come out the gramma seems to force it back into the rocks. Maybe thats why the other died? :/ We'll see if things settle down in the next few days.
