Hahahaha! Sorry about your lose but man that made me laugh...the way you described that. I got such a vivid picture in my head of this dried up fish on the scarf around her neck.

Was she mad?

No she was a little sad . But it did solve the mystery to where it went.

I have a Lamarck's Angel; they are not the flashiest angel by any means but are certainly pretty. Mine has a nice silvery blue colour. It is totally reef safe. It ate immediately, and spends most of its time at or near the front of the tank, swimming around and looking for food in the water coloumn. They are planktivores unlike most other angels. Genicanthus are definitely the ones you want if you want a reef safe angel.

I had no problems at all getting mine to eat, he eats anything i put in there for him. And ive also never seen mine jump or even attempt to. All in all a very nice fish.
