Odd request!

Okay it starts like this, went to check out SW fish at my lfs sometime ago, just out of curiosity. One fish stuck out and captured my attention. Looking at it closely, it was a real beaut! I fell head over heels for it! Thing is i completely forgot to check out the name of the fish. The only thing i know it was some sort of angelfish (or butterfly fish bcause of the shape). Now that i seriously want to try out a saltwater tank i want to find out what this fish is. Whats odd is...the pics... 'fraid is the only thing i can make up at present. Searched around a bit but it will take me a while to find out, so i decided to ask for help here as well.
Any suggestions/help appreciated!

The fish has this kind of coloration.


But it has the shape like this... though the dorsal and the pectoral fins were a bit pointed- i think.


I guess this is more of a puzzle! Thanks to anyone who helps!

Maybe a Koran Angelfish or the Blueface? Check out this page, it has photos with names: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?pCatId=18

The fish you noticed was maybe a juvenile, which there are a few on that page with similar juvenile markings that will change as they mature.
