I bought that big Emperor Angel at AW the other day. I know I shouldn't have, but he was way too cool. I am a little worried about him nipping at my corals and clam, but he has not yet. I have been heavily feeding him and he has been eating really well.

I was not going to add one of those, but he was a big, fully colored one and I could not resist it. I'll try to get a pic of him in there.

LOL, I know how it feels. They had those two beautiful Naso tangs in there for the longest time. Always looked healthy and colorful and I had been able to talk myself out of buying one for the longest time. About a week after we had the meeting there, I gave in and got one. Ivan wasn't too happy with me as he had hoped to take it home if no one took it soon! It is a great fish and loves to eat. When I put some seaweed in there it is like watching a great white shark tear apart its prey! lol

Blake - lol, I only got one of them, be nice to have room for two. Supposedly someone came in and paid for a tank setup and the fish for it including one of the nasos. Ivan let me pick whichever one I wanted and sold the other one to that guy.

If I already had my 240 set up I might have tried talking him out of both of them! lol

Yeah, the price tag on him was a little steep, but here is a pic to show what I got for the $125 I shelled out.....

I have had several people ask for a pic of the tank, so here is one. Still working on some things, that is why you see some wires and such, but I am almost done. The Emperor is about 6" long or so.
