I really, really hate to give this guy up. Finally caught him last night using the "Ace" method. Took about an hour.

Anyway, full disclosure: He eats LPS and Zoanthids. Leaves PINK chalice alone, along with frogspawn, etc., palys and SPS.

He's a real stud. "Barks" all the time. Thinks he's way too cool. Eats out of your hand, and really eats anything. I've had him for about 3 years. Bob Fenner saw him between juvi and adult, and said he'd never seen that coloration before.

Now, he's just plain stunning. Attached photos are 1) crappy because it's a point and shoot and 2) the tank is cloudy, Ace just came over and got some mangroves from the sump, 3) he's been thru a lot in the last 24 hours. But, he ate within an hour of going into the 55.

$100. And, as usual, I get to choose the home - so it's NOT a first come, first served deal. Will consider trades.

I'd say 6". He's about 6-8 months or so into his adult coloration.

I have seen this fish at Bill's and will say he is an absolutely beautiful specimen. Worth more than the asking price.

Home is pending! Looks like he's going into a Sponsor's home tank.

I was sooo excited when my hubby told me he had gotten me this little beauty. One of my favorite fish. He is doing great in my aquarium in the kitchen (240 gallon, 8ft. long aquarium). He is eating and putting the passer angel in it's place. The Vlamingi still rules the tank, but the new addition has quickly taken second place! Beautiful fish! Thanks, Sherry

GLAD to hear he's settling in. He "barks" a LOT.
