anyone have one of these? i think its a beautiful fish and want so bad but for some reason i keep passin them buy.....

just wondering what yalls experience with them are......

[tlgreve]

I had one for a while with no problems, but they are know to be nippers on corals

I've had one in my reeftank for the last 3 years and I've never once had a problem with it as far as corals go. The only problem I have had with it is that its very territorial with new fish . It'll attack it relentlesly till the lights go out , then the next day it acts as if the new fish has always been in there and they get along just fine .

yeah i was told to add them last to any tank due to the terratory(Sp) issue



might just wait till the 125g is up and running and then get one....maybe....

best day of my life was when mine died... sorta nice.... alot of work to get it out of the tank. My acros are reovering now. Polyps never would extend till I got rid of that fish. I will never buy another for a reef tank

since thats why i wanted to ask yalls experience on them.....now i know im not gona get one for the big tank since i do plan on corals one day...

I've heard the the Genicanthus angels are not likely to bother your corals as they eat more on the zooplankton living in the water itself. They get a lil larger than the dwarf angels but in a 125 that isn't a big issue, feeding is the biggest issue as they are a lil harder to get and keep fed.

yeah i dont know what im gona do once the big tank is up....i like the swallow tail and lamarck angels but not sure if i want to house any fish that get real big......just have to see what happens when the time comes to add more fish....
