    I don't have much expereince with them, they fall into the harder to keep and poor handling/collection catagory IMO.

    just caught up today....the potters are great, but too meak IMO. Also this is for Matt....saw my first resplendant in person on wed when we got our shipment. A guy who spend more on fish than i make yearly asked me what kind of rareities i could get. To my amasement tank bred Resplendants were on the new list ($!000 :eek:) and he put a DP on one. In the three days we had it, it killed a clown the first night, and bullied a much larger blue tang into submission by day 2! Maybe this was the exception and not the rule but wow....that lil guy had a severe Napoleon complex.

    My flameback was perfect, while I kept him.

    CB is always better! After the recop someone buys a new Corvett! J/k......but I'm in serious support of CB or aquacultured anything.

    Wow! :eek: What a meanie. Thanks for the info.

    Jeez.. glad I went with a coral beauty. It's pretty mellow so far. Although he is back to nipping the Monitpora Digitata. I can live with it as I have probably 10 pieces. I don't think he'll irratate any one of them to the point where they die, but I'll be watching.

    He hasn't touched my birds nest, polyps, zoos or anything else I have though.

    I have a flame angel and it's doing awsome in with my sps and xenia corals. I also have a blue tang, a percula clownfish, and a green manderin. they all seem to be doing good.

    I have a Coral Beauty and it seem to leave my soft corals alone. It seem all the stuff I have reed was right. It seem to be a "picky" fish but doesn't seem to have any bad intent. The worst thing I notice it doing is swiming over and popping the turbo snail on the shell. All in all not bad though they have shells for a reason.
