    + that. They get large!! I think they are hard to get started on eating. Im almost sure that is why they are rated expert!! Potters angels are expert too, but once they get to eating well they are supper hardy! Good luck with that guy, they are beautiful but aggressive fish!!

    Thanks guys!!
    Im feeding him red, brown, green seaweed. Doesnt seem to like mysis nor brine as much as the yellow tang likes, but he eats very good!!!

    I think i feed him in a diferent way, please let me know if someone else feeds like this.
    I bought the floatable veggie clip, and i tied it to a lil piece of rock. so the clip is in the middle of the tank in height. After feeding them for a week like this, they got used too the floating clip, and they start picking at it when they are hungry. So instead of having the clip stuck to the glass, i have it floating in the middle of my tank, looks like the fish have fun eating!!!

    Lately he has been a little more aggressive towards the yellow tang, but usually only 30 minutes befor the lighs go out at night.

    NOOOO!!!!! That is what my majestic did the night before it broke out in velvet!! And my dottyback. They are both dead now!! I would be looking really close for spots or hard breathing. Be prepared to pull the fish and put him in a QT. Hypo, and copper is about the only thing that will kill the parisite.

    Search: saltwater ick, and saltwater velvet. It will bring up a few good sites. I read that velvet like light. So if you QT with no lights it is harder for the parisite to take hold. Plus they will die in 24 hours with out a host. Ive had my main tank fallow for almost 2 weeks now. Im hoping to put them back in next week. I just trying to kill the straglers. I really wish you luck man, I hope the tang is just acting like a "Clown" :lol: .
