Angels and Butterfly Reef: 750XXL

[Sleepingtiger]

Maybe I missed it but what sorts of coral are/were you keeping with those angels? Must by soft corals and mushroom?

Euphylia, mushrooms, paly, zoas, monti, acro.

Now these angels are juveniles. I expect the paly and zoas will eventually be dinner. Just a matter of time.

Okay…, they are more but honestly, they are the same except for the black mark on the tail.

For some reason, I always thought the male meredithi didn't have the blue face with the yellow round spots

that is a gorgeous fish. You have a lot of knowledge on this fish? Do all males get the blue face with yellow spots?

have you ever kept this fish?

Can’t say I have a lot of knowledge of this fish or any fish as I only keep them. Males do get blue face with yellow dots but they have to be a very aged male to be like the ones in the pictures. I have a male false and a female true in separate tanks and I hope the true turns male one day.
