You people got some amazing photo skills, and some amazing fish. It took a small miracle and a lot of patience just to get this mostly in focus shot of one of my 'flies'. Nice work people.

Male Flame Angel color change with courtship. Same fish just days apart. After courtship, the light is out but the next day color is back to normal. This fish have been in captivity about 2 years. I got him when he was just over 1 inch. Now about 2 inches.
Yellow/gold color is intense, The fins seem like they are on fire. Very appropriately named Flame Angel.

Wow amazing! I’m curious what all do you have in your tank and how large?! I love the triggers and puffers. Can you do a full tank shot?! Please! Looks really cool! I have a 300gal 8’ fish only. But not that pretty! Thank you

Mine is a 265 but I have a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock sump and 60 gallon tank plumbed in.. Lots of water and circulation... Bio pellet reactor... Lot of marine pure blocks and spheres.. Chemi pures as well.... Big uv and skimmer.. Display tank all artificial corals by signature corals...

Very pretty tank! How many fish and what are fish in your tank? I love the triggers and puffers. We have two puffers and two trips and four angels. Looks like you have several of each. Thanks for sharing

Wow! Cool they all get along! We lost our red tail trigger so down to the Niger and Picasso. We also have a Sohal who is amazingly nice and a crazy crazy Caribbean blue tang. Only one wrasse for us. Our porcupine is about a foot long. The larger fish are over 12 yrs old! You have a great selection! What do you feed?
