I did sell the Lemon peel, but, no I did not have a problem with it. I am actually thinking of getting another one. They are, however, hit and miss. All the literature states they are the worst of the dwarf angels.

thanks for sorting that out Bob, would recommend the lemon peel or the flame or the bi color.

i would pass on the bi color, they have poor survival rates in captivity. Id go flame.

heh, I like them all. A potters would be neat, not a lot of people I know have one.

I have a Whitetail Pygmy Angel (Centropyge Flavicauda) and he is awesome. Great little fish!! See him out and about all the time and hasn't touched anything yet. I do have a fair number of SPS but no Clams.

Yes, I was going to say that clams are where the reef/angel thing really breaks down. Especially the lemon peels.
