I love queens we are going to get one soon so i want to get as much info as possible
My queen was $120. I got her from SWF.com
She is 4-5inches. She is currently in QT so I have not seen what she will be like with the other 2, but i can assure you that the emperor will rule the roost.
He is almost 7" and lets everyone know whos tank it is. I think that the queen will be just fine with the others as the blueface and emperor are almost like a mated pair

we would like
hawaiian black trigger
queen angel
blonde naso tang-male-red sea
bangii cardinals
I like the stock list. If I remember correctly you have a 48" tank correct? If so, then I would scratch the tang as these guys get HUGE and need at least a 6ft tank.
The hawaiian black is one of my favorite fish in the sea. I wanted one, but couldnt pass up my blueline trigger.
With the addition of the queen, you should be careful of the carpet anemone. I have one, but it has since been moved to the refugium due to the fact that the two angels have grown accustome to it and were eating it daily.
Your urchin is in severe danger as well by the Trigger. I give it 1 month once you put the Durgon trig in there.

I would rather get any animal from the LFS. BUT only from the ones that I know well. I will not buy from just anyone.
SWF has been great. I have never received a fish from them that has been sick. In fact, my emperor was from SWF as well. I got him 2.5 years ago as a 2 inch juvi.

ccampbell57 ( this is the college guy ) the real GNorman, my brother started and has been talking all throughout this thread
i want to talk to u about our carpet.
when we first put it in ( we put it in b.c we got a sweet deal on it and we wanted the percs to host something) it took the percs around a month to host it. all throughout that first month, our raccoon butterfly niped at it quite a lot. once the percs started hosting it, everytime the butterfly would come up to munch on it, the percs would chase it away and butterlfy eventually stopped trying to eat it. my question is, will the be the case if we add a queen or will the queen just bypass the percs ( bc it will be more dominant then them) and be able to munch on the carpet anemone. thanks for your help and time

Sounds like an impulse buy and like many impulse buys will eventually spell disaster. The butterfly is not an aggressive fish. They are peaceful, but are not reef safe, hence the pecking at the anemone.
The queen is an aggressive fish and as she grows, she will becomre more and more stubborn. Your clowns will try to chase her off at first and she might respect them, but when she is 0ver 8" she will rule the tank. Leading to one of 2 things. (1) your clowns will eventually stop hosting the amenone and move on, whereas your anemone will be picked to death. (2) your clowns will defend the anemone to the death. The clowns will be harrassed so much that they will either die from exhaustion or from ich because they are stressed out.
If the queen doesnt do it, the trigger most likely will.
On the otherhand, you could get lucky. The queen might respect the clowns and leave the anemone alone. The world is a funny place.
