Just grabbed a Elbi Angelfish. I was at Petco with my son and my puppy when the fish delivery came in. I check out what they had floating and was pumped to find this guy!

Not yet. I have had luck with Centropyge Angels so far let's hope the streak continues!
 
very pretty. I've had the opposite of good luck with all angels in reference to coral nipping, or I'd surely have one of these guys
 
Waterford Petco?

I live very close to the Clinton one. Every now and then I'll purchase something from them if I can get it before they are taken out of the shipping bag, once it's in their system I can't risk it. I don't quarantine and take enough chances......

They get some neat livestock, it's too bad they do not have a SW specialist of some sort to care for them. Tanks look so bad sometimes and the advise they give is 100% inaccurate. Besides temperament, they do not list any useful specs on the little cards. How hard would it be to list recommended tank size, ease of care, diet, reef safe, etc on them?

I really wanted a blue bellied banded shrimp (smaller and alittle less aggressive) and all the banded shrimps they get seem to be the blue ones so I stopped in every Tuesday until one came in and bought it still bagged.....that's the key to buying from them, know when they get their shipments and stop in to see what they get each week. They have no heads up whats coming btw.... total crap shoot.

Anyway, neat fish, good luck!

Pretty! I have two dwarf angels and from what I can see, they don't bother my zoas. I have a gift cert to that Petco and I may pick something up for my nano there, but like you, only if I can get it in still in the bag. Don't think I'd chance it in my big tank.
