Imperator Angel

[z28pwr]

My girlfriend has been bugging me to get an Imperator (Emperor) Angel for the 380, but I'm worried that he is going to eat our cleaner shrimps, crabs or snails and wanted to see what kind of experience you guys have had with them and how dificult they are and if it's better to get a Juvenile or an Adult?


Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Good ones are quite hardy, bad ones die. They won't bother your shrimp, crabs or snails. Blake (wkopplin) used to have one in his reef tank.

Personally I like juveniles but the adults have done well for me also.

I have a really nice md/lg juvenile if you want to come check him out. Been here for 3 months and eats like a pig.

I purchased a medium to large juvenile from Richard months ago. Doesn't bother Frogspawn, Xenia, SPS. Did pick on my brain so I removed it. And it starting eating my Zoo's so I removed them too. If you get one, a cleaner shrimp is a must! Eats like a pig. Tamer had one in his Reef with little or no problems. Louis has it in his temporary setup at Aquatic Warehouse and he is huge. If it is something you want I think it's worth the trouble. The one Richard has is nice.
