Dear Valda,
This is a fairly 'typical' example of the species, at least from my experience in East Africa and photos from the Red Sea. The white lines may be a bit narrower than normal but unlike some of the other species you have sent photos of, I feel confident that this is C. africana.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
