As many of you know I have had this guy for about 7 month snow. He has doubled in size and his color is going full steam ahead!

Pictures.

Either did I. I feed 3 to 4 times daily. I feed him actual sponges from my coral store. I get them cheap enough. I also mix in the angel formula. I feed a different type of a meaty food daily. From Mysis Mussles squid to clams. He also gets an algae sheet 3 times a week and I feed spirulina daily to my BiColor which this guy gets his fill as well.

Interesting, I have a maculosus...not sure how long now...probably around 6 months and I don't think it has grown at all.

Hmm. Well when I bought him he had a little bit of Hlle. I only had the 75 at the time but he was in bad shape at the lfs and had such a personality. I bought him on a whim because I had my Blueface. Well The BF gave him hell after I qt'd for a month or so. The BF was also hiding and a real whimp. I sold the BF and this guy has just turned into a real beauty. So personable. Everytime i take pictures he charges the glass and poses like look at me look at me! I have about 30 mug shots of him. He is also the Fastest growing fish I have ever had. I think you can search my name and find the thread when I bought him. I feed a lot though. I also supplement everytime I feed. I have read mixed reviews but its obviously working.
In the 150 he is right at home. He hangs out in the middle under his rock during the night. During the day he is all over the tank. Loves corals! LOL. I bought anothe rpiece of live rock that had some zoa's growing on it. They didnt last 5 minutes.

About 2.5 inches. Very tiny. Wasnt much bigger than my clowns who were tiny as well. He is a solid 4 inches maybe even 4.5 now.
What are you feeding? With correct diet they change rapidly.

Every other angel I had bought in the past was an ADULT. When I restarted my tank this time I made the choice I was going to grow them out I bought a nice Chirstmas Island Juvi from my LFS for a nice price and sucker is eating like a pig. He also runs the TANK.

I will if I can find the Camera called the wife has packed the camera in preperation of the Birth of our son this week. It is in her hospital bag and that thing is packed tighter than the Redskins Iffense was when it came to finding the ENDZONE yesterday. She has our bedroom packed into an overnight bag.

Don't touch the bag. If you unload the camera and forget to load it back in.... you will never ever have a peaceful moment the rest of your life. She will be planning revenge for something like 20 years.
Or if you break it... or drop it in the water.....
Congrats on the Bay-Bee!

I do have a couple pics on the Memory card already but they are ON THE CAMERA. Thing eats like a pig and I am also getting away from the super aggersive fish. Most aggresive stuff this time will be a SFE and my angels. Of which there will be 3 in the 150 and 4-6 in the 450. The 3 in the 150 will be a Koran Emporer and either a Queen or a Regal. When the 450 is up I will get the other one that I did not get and if possible a Clarion and a Conspecific. For other Tangs in the 450 it will be a Black Purple and 3 Yellows PBT P Brown Tang Sohal Blue Regal and a pair of Naso's. Then I want to get a Moorish Idol for the 450 also.

Very cool fish!!! I would get an emperor too if I didn't have the queen angel. But once she outgrows the tank, I want to get an orange tail emperor.
