    It's one from Bulk Reef Supply - I put carbon and GFO in it.

    Well, my anthias and angel come tomorrow! I can't wait - but I'm also extremely nervous!! I went and bought a bunch of new types of food that will hopefully entice my angel and anthias to eat (if they are feeling like being annoying and won't)! I also got a special pygmy angel formula. My LFS didn't have any nori, so I'll have to get some some place else tomorrow or Wednesday.

    Haha I'm planning on going to a natural and specialty food market - I've seen it there before! Tomorrow I shall make the trek.

    But I also need a clip. My LFS didn't have one of those either!

    The bellus angel just gets too big to have a pair! I'll wait until I have my 250 gallon tank in a couple years! :) So instead I got one of the tiniest pygmy angels - rarely even reaches 3 inches! So cute!

    Angels and anthias with easily eat a flake food combination. I've been buying from Ocean Nutrition. They have flakes of Spirulina, Reef Formula and Fomula Two. I mixed them all together with some cyclopeeze flakes and everyone in the tank goes wild.
    With that said, Angels like veggies and nori strips, Anthias' like mysis shrimp. But, they'll both eat either. I have 5 anthias and a lemonpeel angel and an asphur angel. Works for them.

    Thanks a lot! I bought Reef Formula frozen food tonight. I also have Ocean Nutrition 2 pellets and flakes and Cyclopeeze. I'm hoping they will eat! I'll just make up a yummy stew for them. And I will go get some nori strips as soon as possible.

    Do you find your anthias to be aggressive?

    The only time I've seen any agression is sometimes the male might be agressive towards his female. They are great fish and super color to the tank.
