My sps arent really growing have no color im wondering what i need to change any ideas??
 
That’s is stocked pretty heavy!! Lol. That’s just an opinion though!!! Haha. Are you keep any LPS in there? Or only SPS? Just curious if the angels are behaving. They usually do okay with sticks and some have had success keeping them with certain types of LPS. I am planning on adding an Emperor to my new build. Will be the last fish added. Lps/softie dominate with my fingers crossed. Hopefully it won’t decide to munch on everything. I do love the Blueface also, but am limiting myself to one angel. If you’ve ever seen an adult Emperor angel in a public aquarium, you’d be like “wow”, these things get huge!!!
 
My absolute favorite fish is the emperor i have not tryed putting lps in there i wanna put sum torches but am scared but ive heard they dont touch torches. Hes pretty big he eats zoas i know that
 
Here’s one in the Dallas aquarium. I bet it was close to 14 inches!!!! This tank was about 5 to 6 feet high. 10 feet long. And probably 5 feet front to back! The emperor is my all time favorite marine fish. Absolutely beautiful!!!
