That is hilarious...great picture! -Salty By the way I have a 4" Purple and 4" RedSea Sailfin in my 120. An occasional flash but they do fine. Fat, dumb and so far happy. Originally Posted by spanko Serious question here peeps, let's keep the answers constructive, informative and above all...

Member of the genus Genicanthus which are planktivores and will not bother corals or clams in the aquarium, making them the perfect reef angel. So the write up on another site tells us.

I've had one in my mixed reef for about 9 mths. Hasn't touched a thing.

Had one for a couple years...he mowed down my xenia (not a bad thing) didn't bother anything else in the mixed reef.

Be careful if you do use exit. I had a terrible infestation...used exit and lost 2) fish to the toxins. I had a water change ready to go, large bags of carbon for the sump..but still lost my Copperband (had 4 yrs) and a Magnificent Rabbit (3 yrs). No more flatworms. I did add a six line as...

I use a super squirt on my 90gal reef. I've had it installed for about 18 months. It stopped rotating and started making a clicking noise. I sent an email to OceansMotions and heard back almost immediately. Cass tells me Paul is traveling but will call me as soon as he can. Well it's...
