fungia is pretty much 3/4 covered in algea, but it still has some color, for some reason the red in the brain is turing really light, then turing white, so im kinda worried about it, anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry about your Mom, (and your fungia) If you go to the reef shoppe let me know date/time, if it's after X-mas I'll be going soon anyways. I think a swallowtail might be overkill.... :notsure:

I wonder if lamarck, (sp?) angels are smaller, they're just like swallowtails, just not as colorfull...

since the powder browns and blues are pretty much the same, i picked the blue because i like the color A LOT better, they browns just seem kinda... dull

at first in a bare store tank they dont look that great, but once in the tank i think they just spruce everything up and their bright edges come out like crazy, when i had one it swam around in and out of caves, loved watching it

How hardy was it? like did it have ich on the first day you put it in the tank? did u QT it? also what did it die from (im assuming it died since you said when you HAD one)?

it never seemed to go ich...it was probably 5 or so months ago when i had him, and he lasted maybe a month, i had a hard time keeping up with my tanks at the time with work...but the thing i noticed a day or two before he died was his color was fading some, not a ton, but it was noticable.

I wasn't sure what a wantabe angel was so i searched it and You should definatly get one. Also I'm pretty sure the regal angel/majestic angel would eat all your zoos. And I'm no expert but wouldn't a PB tang bug your clown and fiefish? All the books/sites say their aggresive but I don't know who/what to trust anymore. I would go with the wantabe angel, a blue hippo tang, and then one of the triggers. (That's just my $.02) or you could swap the kole tang for the blue hippo, koles are cool too. They had one at the reef shoppe last week, probably gone now though..
