Butter88's 120g Reef

[Samw]

Another colorful pygmy angel that you might want to consider is a Cherub angel. The Potter's that I had before I sold it was good too.

Sam, here is a picture of the flameback. I was considering the potter's for quite a while, but I saw some drawbacks to the ones available so I didn't get it. I'll pay more attention to those fish next time I see them.


And here is a picture of the wrasse I got. Please feel free to chime in if this isn't a blue sided fairy wrasse. Wrasses are definitely not my forte.

I'm jealous that you have an Atlantic Blue, they are such beautiful fish.

Any future plans for your tank? Maybe some fragging?

I have a flameback in my reef...and was a bit concerned....I'd love to add more but of course being angels...SCARY...they are one of my favorite group.....I have wanted both the Potters and the Golden angel and maybe now I'll just have to try it....in my 120g I have a Rusty and a Lemon Peel that get along so so.....you have got a gorgeous group of fish and your reef is stunning!

Michika,
I really like the Atlantic Blue as well. Watching it grow from being a 3 inch yellow juvenile to its current state has been amazing. I'll try and find some old pictures to show its transition.
I don't have any specific plans at the moment for the tank, only the basics of continually keeping the reef inhabitants healthy and watching it grow out. I have been considering upgrading lately and the Atlantic Blue is definitely one of the reasons. If the timing and the tank is right, maybe you'll see a fresh tank journal . I rarely intentionally frag my corals. The corals are still fairly spaced out with room to grow. On the rare occasions I have, they were for good friends or maybe the seldom trade with local reefers.

Chaloupa,
I definitely agree that adding angels to a reef can be risky. A reefer has to be prepared for the worst case scenario,...which can also be an opportunity for reaquascaping the tank ! I like them a lot, but I must say, they are definitely hit and miss with corals.
