Yeah, that emperor was my favorite. I'll probably have to rehome the emperor in about 4-5 years or get a bigger tank. The others don't grow as large as he does so I think I'll be fine. I'll keep an eye out on stress level and move some angels if there looks like a loss on quality of life or more aggressive fighting as they all get bigger.
The emperor was pretty happy in the old tank but I knew I'd have to give him up in another 2-3 years at that point. I hated seeing him swim around between the rocks and and slowly not fitting anymore because he was getting bigger.
Oh heck yeah. My old one that was 7" would eat parts of my Hawkins echinata colony as a snack every quarter. Its a good thing it grew like a weed in the tank. Most fleshy LPS are toast and you can forget about zoas for the most part... Just like a bag of skittles for most emperors. The small one I have in the tank would pick at all the acros incessantly when first introduced but now a couple months later, hardly picks anymore. They are awesome fish with great personalities if you can forgive their occasional coral snacking ways. SPS dominant usually keeps you out of trouble.
Thanks! You find one yet Alton?
Haha, LG V20 phone. I'll do an inception style shot... With someone taking a picture of me videoing the tank for you.., maybe even have someone take the picture of the person taking the picture for a true inception style photo.
A ton Rev. Pellets 3x/day on an automatic feeder and frozen at night, consisting mysis, PE mysis, bloodworms, rods, LRS, and nori. I'll give a biweekly treat of live blackworms as well.
Thank you! All shot and edited on the phone. Moved houses in March so still ramping back up with this new tank but its finally starting to look a bit presentable now.
I caught both the initial phase and the supermale both flashing one day but was too slow with the camera to catch it. That was quite a sight!
