What would you say are the "safest" Pomacanthus angels? I'm surprised to see you have a Queen in the frag tank and an emperor in the sump when I've seen many people attempt Emperors with corals, but not Queens. Interesting stuff!

Have both an Emperor and a Queen and neither one has shown any interest in corals.

Topic: state of the industry and where you think we will be in 5 years in terms

How long have you had the Emperor and what corals is he with?

Same duration with the queen? I’m upgrading from a 90 to a 270 in a few months it’s a fully mixed reef and both of these fish are my top two I’d love to try. Seeing mixed reviews so far

I introduced both as juveniles. I think it is luck of the draw when it comes to coral eaters. Good luck

Have an emperor and a blue face in a 210 SPS dominant with no problems just keeping them fat.

Enjoyable getting to see these fish in SPS dominant systems! Always a sight to see!
