Beautiful. Love the size of the Copperband too-- and how he aggressively wants his Nori. lol.
 
Sadly, after 3.5 months in the tank, my large majestic angelfish unexpectedly died. I have no idea why as it was swimming fine and eating. Just a bit bummed.

Although on a brighter note, I have added blueface and scribbled angels to the tank, they both are swimming around and eating well, algae and Rods and LRS food. Pictures coming soon. :)
 
Here is a short video of the blueface and scribbled angels I got from DrsReef. This is 7 days since they were added. I'll work on better quality when they are more established.

My Emperor. I think it’s a female. She’s small. Got a buddy of mine one way smaller and much later than I got mine. His is larger than mine and turning colors now. Mine barley getting the next morph colors. Had her for 2 years she she’s only 4”’.

Nice angels, how is your experience with Golden angelfish??
 
Nice angels, how is your experience with Golden angelfish??

Super picky/finicky and shy as was stated in here. Once comfortable they do okay. I would say it needs to be the first fish in if you want one. Bigger fish that a golden if aggressive will end up either stop it from eating, or even kill it. Kinda reminds be of regals. Although regales are easier. I would say both are more expert care. Beautiful fish but sadly a bit much for beginner fish.

Bully fish don’t even need to pick at fins to kill a fish. It just keeps it away from food long enough that the fish being bullied shuts down sadly. Seen it happen a few times. Hard to spot at first, and by the time you see it, it’s too late.
