    that one is an emperor angel, there is also a mated pair of bandit angels, as well as 3 flame angels, and one pygmy angel (cherub i believe)
    The one pictured occasionally nips at the polyps but does not devour them... the way the corals grow, i guess its not that big of a deal

    1999 it was built, had a mini crash in 2005 or 2006 where almost all the corals died, and then has been going strong since then.
    Everything you see was grown from small frags that were started in 2006

    It is "owned" by the university but they would not have any of this if it was not for Sanjay.
