i gave a tiny (1") scribbled to a friend who had SPS and the thing went crazy and nipped EVERYTHING. SPS, LPS, clams, softies... From what i gathered/heard they are rarely reef safe. Good luck with yours!! they are gorgeous angels.
The males i brought in were huge! around 8" that were much more brilliantly blue then the other ones. i figured at 6+" they are always males, and females stay smaller.

Excelent selection of fish you have there, John !
I see 4 angels. No problems between them ? And a moorish idol....how long have you got it ? By the way which one is the "flagfin" ? Is it the Apolemichtys trimaculatus ? Last edited by Joao Monteiro; 11/08/2006 at 06:17 AM. |

zemuron- how did you know the 1" fish was a scribbled? From what I understand, many of the cheatonoplus angels are very very similar in appearance when juveniles (the solid black with yellow band)? All the experienecs I have read about have been the opposite, juvenile fishes safer than adults, but adults one of the safer genus of large angels (comparatively).

Well, here he is- in all his glory. So far, he has eaten some incidental sponges growing in my tank and a few zoanthids, but no real worries. Hasn't bothered any clams, save the one with some sponge on the shell, but I am delighted so far. Eats likes a pigs, including pellets, flake, nori, formulas, you name it. And he eats from hand, too. A risk well worth it, in my book.

Mine is doing fine and (so far...) not bothering the corals - sometimes, a nip here, another there... no big deal.
Here he(/she?) is cruising the tank  And a closer picture

I should've updated a while ago. My experiment failed. All was well for about 2 months, then one day I came home from work, and it looked like a bomb went off in the tank. My scribbled had destroyed a few SPS, nearly all the LPS (of which there weren't many), nearly every zoa, and all my clams were closed. Furthermore, he had goten extremely aggressive with my other fish (including a 7" crosshatch trigger). I had to sell him to a fellow reefkeeper with a 560 gallon fish only.

i have a singapore and he doesn't touch to corals very much just a nip now and then but really no big deal however he did bother my flame scallop so I moved it in my fuge.
It is a pretty much reef-safe fish only if you don't have clams.
