Ah those are BIG!

Anyone knows what's happening to GO? Half the tank's are dry and empty. And the other half are holding old stock of mushroom, prata and brains - many lost colour and algae infested. This used to be a premium LFS!! I think it's closing shop soon.

If u had pods before, it is unlikely the mandarin cld hv eaten them all. Unless u have wrasses as well - they can wipe out entire pop. Mandarins typically do well in older tanks (over 6mths) with sand and live rocks. Mine has been with me for a year now.

Guys something really weird happened - the anemone rejoined to become one again! ! Has anyone seen this before??

Interesting colouration

SOLD! Thanks all.

Probably too big for my setup. Lemme know if u decide to break it up for multiple sale.

Yup I fed mine well...

Big is also good if they keep their shape and colour. They can also host. The small ones don't like to host (mine closed up when I brought an anemone shrimp to it).

Tks! ... and it stays small too...

Haha - first time witnessing ... my RBTA in the act of splitting. Fascinating!! Must have started last night. This was shot 10min ago.

Drats. . Would hv loved the brain!

Let me know if still avail

Yup agreed. Also many are caught with cyanide. That damages their liver, and would eventually kill them.

I'd like to hear from folks who've kept this fish successfully (ie more than a year). Along with other challenging types like Moorish idol, regal angel, and orange spot file fish.

Thanks bros!

I was enchanted by this beautiful and shy dwarf angel when I first started reefing more than 20 years ago. Back then, I kept 3 specimens without success. I gave up with a heavy heart. But I never really forgot this elusive beauty. Then last month, after returning to the hobby for some two years, I thought I'd give the golden angel another try. I had just upgraded to a 4-footer, and the only fish I had in there were a couple of gobies, pair of clowns, and a fat mandarin. So introducing a golden angel, which is easily spooked by similar fishes, was ideal. I chanced upon an alert and healthy looking specimen at Pinnacle. It was their last piece. I bought it, and it was in my tank shortly afterwards. As expected, it stayed hidden for the first five days. Then it started emerging in the early mornings. As the days went on, it became bolder, and was soon swimming openly all over the tank. And just as I feared, it started nipping on my corals. It liked acros, milles and brains especially. I thought once I got it to feed on pellets, it would stop. And I was confident that it would start eating pellets soon. But after about 3 weeks in my tank, it was still nipping on corals and algae. It was fat and happy (round tummy), and would even stare at me when I used my hand to scare it away from the LPS. Then I saw some tissue regression on a couple of my corals. I decided there and then that it had to go. I dismantled the tank, caught the fish, and put it in my sump. I advertised it for sale, feeling a mixture of relief and sadness. There were plenty of interested parties, and a fellow hobbyist soon came to pick up the fish. He was an avid fish enthusiast. And I thought the golden angel would be in good hands. Alas it lasted only a day. I was shocked when I enquired how the fish was. And heart-broken. I blamed myself for sending it to its premature demise. It was so happy and hearty in my tank. Perhaps I should have sacrificed my corals for the exquisite angel. I can't say why it died. With fishes, it is always hard to say. I can't blame the buyer. Now, as I sit writing about my all-time fave angel, I know that I've finally succeeded in keeping it - if only for three weeks. The next time (if there is a next time), I will keep it in a FOWLR tank. Farewell my angel!

Tank set SOLD. Mod pse close thread. Tnx.

Thanks bro. Hope the acro crab hosting well. They sometimes migrate from one colony to another.

See to believe the condition of this tank and cabinet set!

The RBTAs from this bro are worth it - excellent colour and shape.
