Thanks for the gesture of sparring some frozen cyclopeeze. The stubborn sohal still refuses to eat.. Tried many times to capture him on pic, here's some bad shot of him.... :ph34r: The pics is him with old residents

Ya, agreed tat its a time bomb to keep in a coral tank. Initially, this fellow tends to sniff around my corals. But, like u said, feeding them lotsa of food, makes the koran stays away from my corals. Recently added an elegance and its been so far so gd:) his tummy is always round n fat.:) thanks for your advice bro.:)

Initially he was challenged by my Tomini Tang and was quite stressed up. Will updates of his conditions

Yes and no actually. l got mine when it is already feeding pellets at the LFS, so not much of a problem. In fact, no resident tangs dare to challenge him when 1st introduced. Sohal is aggressive by nature i believe. But sold off after i decomm. So sad. Now, if i start up again, sohal will be on my list.

And glad to hear of your guai guai koran too! Yrs a nice specimen too.

Keep us posted on this sohal beauty...heehee

For Sohal's characters, I have also long heard of it. Being aggressive and also a fighter, he has proven his "Stand" in my tank after I intro it. Non of my 2 PTs, 2 YTs and Sailfin Tang dare go challenge him, except for the Tomini Tang :ph34r: About 1.5-2 yrs ago, I set my eyes on Sohal at Wakai at Farm-mart and the color of thr finage is truely striking and refine. But have kept my hands away from it till now, so decided to grab one as I wouldn't know how long I'll last in this hobby... :pinch: Many have decomm due to many factors :ph34r:

But when are u coming back reef again ? :upsidedown: Red sea shipment dun come often and even if do comes , gets more XXX :sick: As for the Koran Angel, I think this chap is of passive characters and has been in hidding for the initial 2 weeks. Now he's being more friendlier and the moment I'm home, he'll join the crowd to prompt me for feeding :lol: Koran sure adds some color variation to the group of fishes in my tank ... Will updates of the condition of the S.T :thanks:
