Look what I scored from Mobile Aquatic. I've been waiting a long time to get the right size fish and my patience finally paid off. Hopefully he finds the 72 degree tank just like home

Thanks. It's the Apolemichthys arcuatus, otherwise known more commonly as the bandit angelfish. It's endemic to the Hawaiian islands.

Thanks Brad! Yes, the C. interrupta is on the short list but wild caught specimen just don't have a very good track record at this point.

Thanks. You are right about them being deeper water fish, hence the lower tank temp desired.

Thanks kreeger1 and Acropora Crazy


Sara, you know that one or a pair would look great in that tank of yours. And Gary will take some awesome shots of them too
