He is still doing his thing. I put him in a giant Rubbermaid tub with live rock from a tank I bought out and threw food in every day but not sure if he ever ate. I treated him with prazipro and when he didn't show any signs of disease, released him into the main tank. He's swimming around fast and happy though I still never have seen him eat anything I feed. He just picks the rocks and the coral polyps all day so hopefully he's getting something good out of it.

Yep, I guess it makes sense when he's that size. I hope he grows out of it and only does it occasionally like my old emperor.

Thanks bubbaque!
I'm waiting to add a scribbled angel, male Japanese masked angel, and majestic to the mix as well. My LFS is just waiting for when he sees all three available before ordering for me.

I'd imagine not much different than keeping most dwarf angels other than maybe a ton more hiding spots? Just my guess though.

FarmerTY awesome tank! Curious, what brand of bio pellets do you use? I have tried BRS several times and always get a cyano outbreak. Would love to cut back on water changes but need a method to keep nitrates down without the cyano. Thanks.

Thank you! Its still going through the transition of moving but slowly getting there.
I use Ecobak Plus biopellets. Combined with GFO, I typically don't see cyano issues in the long run but occasionally will get some with any major tank changes, such as lighting or major fish population changes. I use red slime remover if it gets out of hand and it typically does not come back after that.
