I was sooooooooo close to getting me one today...ha ha ha....but:
1. I am not completely sure that I am completely cycled......(saw my ammonia and trites spike and come down...but thought it takes 4 - 6 weeks to completely cycle, and it has only been 3 weeks...LOL....so don't know if I am in denial that it happened so quickly, or just plain paranoid)....but I tested my parameters, and went to 2 different LFS and got similar readings....??????????...I'll be safe and wait it out
2. Not sure what I want in my tank....I am told they are cool with SPS, but LPS would be a serious issue with them
3. Debating whether I want one of these or an Annularis Angel...
However, my choice LFS has one of these for $38 (juvi)
He said he was going to look into an Annularis for me....

I wouldn't put it as the first fish in your tank because it'll get the whole "this whole tank is mine" attitude. And be very aggresive to any additions after it.

I'm working on that full tank shot .. I can't get one that shows any justice .. they all come out blurry and you can only see a big tan blur (my lionfish), 2 blue blurs (my hippo surgeonfish and imperator angelfish), and a little stick poking out of the rock (my snowflake moray's head)

it's a bacteria that grows on live rock . people call it red slime algea . but it's not an algea at all .. it's bacteria .. it spreads really quickly

yeah triGa .. haha .. are you talking about my 65 gallon .. or my 20 gallon .. haha .. my 20 gallon is now my QT .. and my 65 gallon is currently unemployed ..my 210 gallon is currently up and running but has so many corals that the imperator would find tasty that he's in my 90 gallon at the moment .. I'm selling my 90 gallon however and upgrading to a 135 . I planned on adding the imperator after I upgraded but couldn't help but get this guy
