Thanks guys, the pics are linked to the PBMAS webisite and our host sucks so sometimes the links are down. I'm trying to get my site updated but I've been so busy and on top of it I have jury duty right now.
It's actually a Regal Angel from Fiji, the Red Sea Regals are a little more colorful and have a yellow stomach but have a worse track record.
My copperbands doing great so far, it always helps to hae healthy one to begin with and try blood worms to get them started.
It's a madagascar leather, they're rare to find in that color, there's a pic of a full grown one in my thread somewhere, I'll post a nother pic of it later.
Yeh they look kind of like potters but in the light are much more pretty, I knew that bait would work better than normal food...

They definitely are hit or miss, they take extra work and may eat coral so do a lot of research before even thinking about getting one.

With all of the things about my tank I think that the most amazing thing is the lack of aggression. When I add a fish, any fish really, aggression and being beat up doesn't even come into my mind anymore. The worst thing that hapens anymore is the sailfin goes near it and spreads it's fins for about 5 minutes and the rest of the fish have to check it out. The new fish are never chased and are very quickly accepted and hanging out with the rest of them. I think that this helps me very much when trying to keep these harder fish. I feed ALOT so there is absolutley no competion for food, all of the fish share the same nori clips and eat right next to each other.
So far the regal id doing great but it's still early to really tell, he's eating, he's out in the open, and the hangs out with everyone else.

Well, sad news to update. I found the Regal laying on the sandbe dead. He had absolutley no marks, was eating well, and was fat and not being picked on. They are known to do this though. I'm going to try and get one that I know has been held in a tank for at least a couple of weeks.
Sorry!

On a lighter note, here is a great video from Japan, one of the coolest fish things I've seen. A must watch......
