    Wouldn't turn down a nice frag or another fish of similar value.

    This guy has been in my system for about 8 months. Fully quarantined and fat/happy. He is a nipper as most dwarf angels are. Hasn't done any damage in my tank thus far but I have a lot of small frags I'm not willing to take the chance with. Meaty LPS is most at risk. He has not bothered any of my zoas/palys which is what I thought would be most at risk.

    Come on Aaron, roll those dice. :D He is such a
    neat little fish, super colorful. My plate corals are just more important to me. He hasn't bothered a single zoa, SPS, duncan or euphyllia. Just the plates.

    I have big plates of montis, chalices, and other plating soft corals and I don't feel like opening the bag and letting him loose in the buffet line!

    LOL, don't blame you, though the montis and chalices wouldn't be on the menu. He hasn't bothered my montis. Just the meaty stuff

    Last chance! If I don't have a confirmed home he'll be headed to The Fish Tank tomorrow. @Bryan Dean pm me if you want him for sure.

    Can’t rehome your fish, but my question is how did you catch it? I’ve got an angel I may swap out so I can get a clam. Tried a plastic fish catcher box thing but it was too smart to fall for that.

    I have a very large fish trap and was able to catch him in about 15 minutes. Just hung some nori on a clip just at the edge of the trap and moved it a little further in to the trap every few minutes.

    Sometimes it takes some patience. Sometimes I have to feed the fish in the trap for a few days to get them to relax enough to go in. That's unusual for me though because my fish are pretty tame and most will eat out of my hand.
