Lost my flasher wrasse/pygmy angel ?

[Dowtish]

So I lost my McKoskers wrasse a couple of days ago. He jumped. I have a screen, but it is pointless until I hook up my sump. So let's not go there on this.

My real question is, I've been eyeing an Eilbli angel at AC. It looks great and has been there a couple of weeks. Anybody have experience with this one in particular? I don't have sessile inverts or clams.

Sorry, Chris that is so not cool
The angel looks good though. I have no experience with it and very little with anything else. But hope it turns out to be good news!

Pretty fish, but from my experience. they can be coral munchers. I think I had one many moons ago but It didnt make it for some reason or another. the centropyge are a roll of the dice.

Its a hit or miss nip on sps. They will however nip on lps and clams. I was thinking on Picking one up last Sunday from AC. I'm wait till they get more potters in.

I was thinking the same thing. I love the potters, but they seem to have the reputation of being more fragile and sensitive to shipment.

I had a pygmy angel in the 80. A cherub I think is what its called? The solid blue one with yellow face. Had it for a few years and never nipped at any corals in my tank. I didn't have any SPS though. Never touched the frogspawns.

yeah, those are really cool too. and they are probably the most "reef safe" pygmy angel out there. But I need one with a little more size to it. It will have to defend itself from a couple of tangs and a wrasse, if and when it goes in.

Well, I got the Eibli Angel on Sunday, and so far so good. It has had to defend itself from my Tangs, but is getting along much better now. It's eating anything I soak in garlic, and I havent seen it nip on anything....yet.
