    I'm new to the hobby and while Web surfing came across these fish. Would like to learn more about them but I can't do that without identifying them. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Hippo Tang is a cool fish. The angel looks like it could be a Queen or a Blue Angel. The other is a flasher wrasse. The Hippo and Flasher are reef friendly the full size Angels aren't. I have an Asphur Angel that I read can be reef friendly but with caution. He's the fish in the picture. They are hard to come by. This one luckily was sitting in my LFS for a few weeks and nobody scooped him up. The saleslady in the store told me she had an Asphur Angel for 27 years! Wow! I can't imagine that but from what I've seen so far of him he's hardy and loves the marine algae strips I give him and the tangs.
