Maybe this will help? Is it an adult? I don't think the pouch or lack of pouch matters in juveniles.

Looks like a female to me. I believe the male will have a more suttle angled stomack where the female has the round bottom to the stomack. Atleast that was how I was shown when I had them.

Nice Pics Steve everything looks great! How is the lemon peel angel doing? Is he picking on any coral?

The Seahorse looks good and is definatly a female.

Great photos! I just love your system and everything in it. The idea of a top and bottom tank is great.

How did you become so proficient with your camera? Classes, self-taught?

Self-taught, just practice I guess. The camera helps a little

Wow! I love how you have a top main DT and lower. This is what i think id like to do.. you have the best of everything mixed reef and right below it a tank for other interesting creatures you normally cant keep in a mixed reef all plumbed together! Do you have any recent FTS? great tank dude!!

No recent FTS but I'll take one next time I got my camera out and post it here. It's defiantly a challange keeping the two tanks happy, basically some stuff will do good and other stuff will not. You just have to find the ballance and try to aviod the stuff that doesn't do that well.

Thanks Colby, lemon peel is good, haven't watched it too closely but it's similar to the potters not really eating food yet but eating something, maybe some coral but I can't see any damage. Except for the two gorgonians which no longer have polyps as both angles eat them, better color though and still seem to do good.

Got a mate for my female?
