Amazing day at Reefapalooza today! I met “Mr Salwater Aquarium TV” and had a nice chat with him, forgot his full name but met Paul from a famous reef store in England, saw Daniel from here but couldn’t get a chance to speak to him, and some other people, and I also met a “mentor” of mine March from FragBox Corals. He has been helping me since I got hooked with the Saltwater side! Had a really good chat with him, got a hat form him lol, and also he took some B-Roll shots of something I purchased *hint hint*

Icing on the cake….I was able to come home with 3 new stunners :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:!!!

Those guys are all beautiful, be careful with the scan if you’re going for any Angel outside of Genicanthus. There’s a pattern between RSWC fish that eat coral, they generally go for the fleshy LPS.

Definitely. I do have a few Genicanthus options in case the Regal doesn’t work out. I’m also hoping the Clowns don’t decide to host the Torch.

Hey Ethan… how are things now that every has cleared from the hail storm yesterday?
Thx for checking in crusso! Things are good, at least better. We didn’t get a tornado, and we were able to shuffle out most of the hail in back yard, and pick up things. I put in the screens for both windows, the one that flew wasn’t far it got stuck in some bushes, and they are both hanging on, though not sure how long cuz one is broken. The windows from the first and second floor seem scratched but mostly undamaged. Unfortunately the garden didn’t end up well. Mostly alright. Things could have been worse. My father got stuck out driving in the middle of the storm yesterday, but thankfully he is alright.

You think the Regal would have a liking to Acans and Zoas if I feed it the “Sponge and Clam juice“ with its food?
Absolutely!
Acans and Zoas are the best ‘food’ an Angel will have in a reef unless you have sponges.
