He looks great

He looks great

He is active swimming breathing fin but he is tiny maybe an inch

Maybe he is not ready to be in DT with a Cherub Angel. I would be really careful in release him.

Lights out for a bit maybe. Also some slight redecorating might throw off any aggression. Beautiful fish BTW

Yea interesting and added a flame in too. A cherub, regal, and flame in a reefer 350 with no issues. Go figure. I had other tanks to put if it didnt work out. Acclimation boxes are key and I think the other think that helps is complex rock work but what do I know

I got 5 large angels 7 tangs — oh I know about the aggression!!! I believe in overfeeding them — they don’t fight if their stomach is full, like my wife — HANGRY! lol

Lol for real, let your wife get hungry, all inhabitants suffer!

I’ve learned over the 20+ years of marriage — it’s cheaper to keep ‘er ;)
