    As usual hard to get pics of fish. I managed to atelast get one that was somewhat clear although he started swimming away. I know I know sometimes they nip at corals. I really wanted this fish though and it will be the last one in my tank. I keep my tank fairly well fed so hopefully I can avoid that. I think its beautiful.

    nice fish veedub. very colorful. coral nipping really depends on the individual fish. ive had my angel for quite some time and hasnt nipped yet. but my bicolor blenny would actually nip at my frogspawn. just to show you how different every fish really are.

    Keep us posted as I would love to get an angel, but I'm afraid of it nipping at my corals, and clams.

    Ok, yeah I don't really like clams or else I wouldn't have got this fish.

    Great looking angel. My Coral Beauty did great for about 6 months in my reef tank, then all the sudden I noticed my waving hand polyp colony was devastated. Thats when the Coral Beauty got booted to the fuge for the remainder of its days. Then my giant brittle star got a hold of it one night and that was that.

    Hopefully I never have to evict him. There arent too many corals that I would rather have than him though. He's really nice.
