Candycane coral/emperor angelfish questions?

[tony_3a]

the lfs had sold it then the person shut down their tank and they took it back, its probably about 8 months old. U guys dont think its a emperor?

I would say no. Juv. Emporer angels have a very different pattern.

im really annoyed and upset, i just looked into it a bit more and i think you guys are right, im really mad, i need to stop trusting pet lovers they screw me over nonstop.

Ya that happens, I've been sold different animals than they were advertized as. The best thing to do is do a bunch of research. If you know how the animals you want look in different stages of growth you should be able to avoid getting screwed over with falsely labled animals.

Good reason to stop going to "chain stores". Anyone with any marine knowledge most likely not work for minimum wage. Stick to the SW based stores, you should have better luck.

it wasnt a chain store!!! it was rob at pet stop, he owns the place and has a shitload of saltwater fish.

Most angels will pick at coral. Even you feed them constantly, they still nip here and there. Overtime, the coral will just die because of the harassment. My medium toadstool, big kenya tree, zoas and green paly are all gone now with 5 angels in my tank. Never have time to investigate which one is doing it and also catching them is going to be a pain. Well just hope they won't touch others coral.
