How about Acan? the big and nice one...bo liao.

How about yuma? definitely grabbed liao from last update.

Still have xenia and lots of cloves...for soft coral lovers.

There's a small size purple prata...quite exotic..except there is a slight exposed teeth....not obvious.

errr....so is it worth going this week??? Yes, if you looking for offer items. No, if you are looking for new additions.

Any new shipment coming. Not for the next one week...at least.

flame angels are abit of an enigma. while most are reef safe, there are some that are utterly brutal to corals. some turn out fine when u first get them, but turn into coral eating machines in a few months. no way to guarantee unless u decide to gamble. many reefers say flame angels are a 50-50. but its more complicated than that. however success stories of them not eating corals are high, albeit there are some horror stories too..

if u acquire a coral eating flame angel, no amount of food u feed it will prevent it from eating your corals. it will still peck your corals regardless. and yeah i agree with you about the maroon.

sorry :off:

if i've acquired a "coral-eating" flame angel,

any particular corals he will whack? like pratas and brain?

or he'll just nip at every single coral?
