Wow 10k! In all seriousness these creatures should be left in the oceans for the time being. I read somewhere that the aussie gov't only allows one brooding male per year to be collected.

What about a saltwater leaf fish? Those are offered for sale from time to time.

those pink ones look cool!.... I was reading a thread over at RC... about a guy who has a group of 5 or 6 flames angels in his tank... how cool would it be to have a pair or trio of angels for a species tank? That is if you could get them the right sexes...

I had a "harem" of lemonpeel angelfish years back.

The largest becomes the male, with a harem of females. All different sizes was what was recommended to me. I bought five fish, lost one right off the bat, but the others were stunning and thrived until I moved them from a 155g to a 48g. The male exhibited beautiful coloration.
