Choosing an Angel for my Reef

Brad how big is the MI. And what size is your DT? I read they can grow to 8 inches...

[Aquattro]

He is what would be called a typical medium, I suppose. About 4 inches? Hasn't grow a cm in a year, so doubt I'll see any growth. My DT is about 115g, or 30x40" foot print.
To be honest, I've never had any fish grow at all. Ever. They all get thicker, but never longer. Maybe I'm doing it wrong??

[straightrazorguy]

Oh, mine grow. My copperband grew about half inch in the last year, the yellow tang about an inch, and the harlequin tusk approx half inch in 6 months. Maybe I overfeed? Anyway, I don't want huge fish...

I feed way too much, and nothing. Weird.

That is awesome! You got any zoas? You may not have any left later. Clams should be OK. Water will need to always be highly oxygenated. Won't survive very long during a power outage without aerator.

No zoas, not my thing. But may look for cheap brown ones for food if you think that might be good

I have a Clarion Angel for Sale. Been in my mixed reef with no issues. I have everything in it (zoas, clams, acans, chalice, sps).
