Moorish idol

That's not a bannerfish, that's a Moorish idol (in German: Halfterfisch) = Zanclus cornutus. (Also known from the animated movie "Nemo").
 
Yes, it's a Moorish Idol - one of the hardest fish to keep alive for any length of time in captivity. One of the biggest problems seems to be feeding them. In nature they are reported to feed on sponges, and those aquarists reporting the greatest success with Moorish Idols offer living sponge as a portion of the diet.
