Nice fish collection so far!

Has any of the angels nipped at your corals though? My cousin's emperor in Hong Kong ate all his coral and now he has a FOWLR... :neutral::wink:

Not too much, the emperor likes to nip at the edges of the zoa pieces and some other soft polyps, nothing nice so far! (knock on wood). The others ignore them completely. I made sure i only bought fish i saw eating suppliments and were doing well. The emperor loves pellets.

ok now he is a problem lol, what a jerk fish.. started to eat anything fleshy, aswell as kick up sand and scare all the smaller fish. I swear he almost got a chromis..he was returned.

Lesson learned, sort of, decided to try a less destructive fish and still play with fire. I exchanged for a Tomini Tang, a Powder Brown Tang, a bi color blenny and the fire - a coris wrasse...I know he might eat my clean up crew and move stuff at the worst, i can glue and replace crew. i have heard some dont bother anything, we will see how badly i get burnt.

pics to follow..

Ouch! That's too bad, an emperor is such a beauty...at least it's returned to a place where it won't get your corals.

From what I've read (I have no experience with this) PBTs are very ich-prone. Hope yours is a nice and healthy fish! :biggrin:

Added a small uv for general fish health a few days ago, they all seem more active in the day and feed more agressively.
