Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I've had one Pygmy, an African flame back years ago.
Constantly picking, ate everything, very territorial and would literally take on anything 10 times it's weight and size 🙃.
It was fun to watch.
I had no coral so I can't speak about that but those rocks were mighty clean.
It was a very personable fish.
I would, if interested in a smaller angel, just do a lot of research before going that route.
I've had a coral beauty, elebie, half black, flame, keyhole and lemon peel as far as the smaller angels.
I might have had some others but those are the ones I remember most.
Those Elebie or whatever are pretty as juveniles. I wanted a Mimic tang in that coloration but never ended up with one. Good thing too, since I downgraded to the 70.

Yes they really are one of the prettiest little ones.
Very calm for an angel as well.

Of the ones you listed my experience was that the Eibli was the only one that didn't end up being a total jerk. I had a Potter's that wasn't too bad either but all angels are hit or miss. I think Flames are the prettiest and the Coral Beauties the meanest in general.
 
Purple Masked is one that came up in a Google search. Rare though, it sounds like.
While I've heard of the Purple Masked and even see a picture of one, I've never seen one in a store.

Thanks for getting the spelling right for me Tom, couldn't for the life of me remember how to spell Eibli 🙃 😅
 
Do you guys need a company medical nurse?
I need one Rock! You can help me with mom's home health care. You'll make less money, but you'll eat seafood every night and be amongst friends!

But are you going to feed him crawfish, crawdads, crayfish or mudbugs?
 
Bumblebees are great.
In my opinion, they are of the most effective cuc members at killing the pests they were added to kill.
