Hey scott the coral assassin, nice looking angels- how long have you had that goldflake?

Little over 2 years now , fantastic fish, doesn't bother coral can be slightly aggressive towards other members of the tank. He will put them on notice but rarely gets really overly mean. Pretty much a perfect angel.

A little more than 2 years now, great fish , never bothers the coral can be a bit aggressive towards something of the other fish but never really does any damage. Just lets them know who's in charge.
