Making a case as to why NOT to bring home a Regal angel

[my2rotties]

Personally I never had any intention to add him to my reef... When I asked about making a case why NOT to add it, it was on behalf of making it a slam dunk as to why I did not feel right about adding him. I also expected the little trooper to be long dead to be honest. I canreef friend made mention that the regal was still at the store to my amazement.

This is why I asked about why it would not be a good idea. I guess when we write nobody can get a feel as to the tone in which we are asking the question.

I am not letting the fish go to the store and am currently trying to find a well established tank with a experienced keeper. I don't think the girl I offered him to is ready for him, so I am still looking for a home.

This little guy has lived in the store for over ten weeks. He beat bacterial and skin infections. The last thing I would do is bring him home to an uncertain future. I would never be able to live myself if he died and I know there is a big risk of that for angel species in my tank.

I know quite a few canreefers, and feel that if I put him up for adoption he will have the best chance at living a long life. If I take my store credit anybody can just buy him. I have a couple of weeks to find an appropriate home and he can stay at the store until one is found.
