great color on the camera - nice looking fish. Is that a vanuatu flame angel?

-Dr Marco :sfish:

 

[Alexander]

It is a flame angel. however is there really any way of knowing if it was from Vanuatu or not? I thought they were mostly from around Hawaii

 

[joeyv]

awesome fish man, i love the flame angels i think they are sweet. props on the fish and the tank

 

[HAWKS12thMAN]

those fish are so much prettier than the gerbil you own.... u know the one, its white after the bath but, brown after pillow talk.

 

[reeffreak]

[yote]

I want one of those flame angels,but aint got the nerve to try one with my corals.

 

[Doc]

Yote,

I have had better luck with flame angels over any others leaving corals alone. I have had three coral beauties and they all have nipped at corals and clams. Lemon peel and Bicolor angels are the worst. They both massacred my corals in the past. If you are looking at a pygmy angel, go for the flame. I think the vanuatu flame has more blue on his tail.

ya i have never heard of anybody having problems with flame angels nipping corals

 

[Alexander]

thanks guys, yeah I got the lavender tang because I really liked the subtle yellow spots that they get on their face and I also was hoping that it would take care of plenty of detrius and algae. seems to have done well so far and also has a wonderful personallity. definitely outshines all other fish in the tank. makes up where the colors leave off for sure.

as far as the flame yote. you have NOTHING to worry about. my flame has never even so much as thought about eating at my corals.

 

[Bifferwine]

Nice pictures Redline! Post some more!

 

[Alexander]

I will next time I get bored and the roommate is gone :) not that he would care if I was using his expensive camera.

 

[yote]

Thanks,for the advice on the flame.I may go ahead and try one.BUT.
If it ever looks at or nipps one of my corals or my clam,Im gonna mail every body a small piece of the lil feller.,,lol J/K.
But my go ahead and try one.

 

[Alexander]

oh I don't doubt it yote. I know how ruthless you are when you get irritated. you get the tacklebox out and start ripping stuff out

 

[yote]

What can I say,Its the redneck in me:beerchug:

 

[Alexander]

ill :beerchug: to that Yote, and i really am drinking one right now so its for real!

Great pics!! I love the flame.

I have the same problem yote. I want a coral beauty or a flame, but I'm scared they will nip. I might give one a try though.
