Saw this Angel in a big restaurant aquarium. It's much bigger than a dinner plate!

They sell these in the hobby. They must need at least a 200300gal, probably 300400. This one was easily a foot long and foot tall, probably pushing a foot and a half! That's a big Angel.

Having seen these in the wild, I could never imagine keeping one in a tank. They get huge. Half a meter long, but they are more or less round. The look so majestic gliding over the reef, often in pairs. Great fish for a public aquarium, and a great reason to pick up scuba.
