And what size tank is yours in? I did some research on it and it seems that it needs about 220 gallons or so to be happy. What else is in the tank with that angel?
He is currently residing in my 240 gallon (8' x 2' x 2'), with a Rock Beauty Angel, Annularis Angel, Naso tang, and a Crosshatch Trigger (in my avatar). I have eventual plans to add an anthias shoal, a large wrasse, and another passive trigger (Lei). The problem with minimum tank recommendations, is that they are a little too broad in most cases. For example, IMHO a Blueface (or some other large angels, since this is the topic on hand), purchased as juvi's/sub-adults in the 3"-4" range could live a very long time in something like a 150gal. However a big 9" Blueface collected that size from the wild, immediately needs his large tank (220gal+).

Not sure if something was posted and deleted before I saw it but I wanted to point out that when I used "doosh", it was pointed at me and not someone else. lol I don't think calling myself a name is against the rules. I now will leave the topic alone and get back to looking at pictures.

That stinks. It was eating right?
I think it might have been the stress of his reflection.. just a thought.

:-( Judging from the look of your LR, you might not have had enough algae for him, that combined with his reflection just might have been too much. CB's can be difficult depending on where and how they are collected as well.

i contacted my LFS in hopes i get a refund. If i do i may use the $40 to get more rock and/or something easier.

Then i bought some rubble rock and joe says, your mom is cute, ill give you the rubble for free.
