Hey Shao,

Sorry for your loss

IMO angels are one of the most easy stressed fish out there. From all the diving and snorkeling that I have done, I have noticed that it's always the angels that spook the first. There are more sensitive in there own natural enviroment than any other fish I have encountered. So that's gotta say something about there care in a tank.

I also have to agree with Deb.
IMO taking photo shoots of your new fish in a net or even in a pail for that matter is not a wise action. Your fish is already going through Hell , a third or fourth time by being brought home to yet another tank, there's no need to add to more stress by taking photo's and worst of all exposing it to the air for longer periods than needed-they have gills not lungs. I also just read an article on how fish net exposure may be responsible for "popeye" and some gill infections. I think it was in this months Reefkeeping online.

Sorry Shao if this sounds like I'm attacking you personaly-because I'm not!
I just think we all(myself included) need to be reminded once in awhile that reefing is a delicate living hobby.

cheers, Rich
