Do not forget about me when you collect the hotumatua ...The multibarreds will probably move to a smaller coolwater tank I have, unless I can get a few hotumatua, which at this point looks like I'll have to travel to Easter and get them myself...

Really nice tank !!
The impressive things in that 180G, besides the angels of course, is that you have quite alot of fish, it seems you feed heavy and still the SPS looks so good.
Can you give system info and water parameters?
Cheers

I'd wager given his abilities that the angels eating the corals would be a benefit :lol:
I have a few pieces from him & have yet to replicate the growth or color
I'm not worthy

I've owned many idols and although I've kept some long term, keeping in a pair or group (long term) is near impossible. I believe it's important to get this fish small and fresh from the ocean... the species range is huge and I don't believe one location to be better than another, but rather the important thing is to get the fish small (they adapt better, ship better, and feed better) and as fresh from the ocean with a short supply chain (mine were collected by friends in Hawaii, but for you Kenya is quite close). Once adapted these fish need to be fed and kept fat... there is a line with all fish between a fish getting skinny and a fish dieing... with this species that line is very fine and so care needs to be taken to keep this fish fat and on a good diet... many people fail to realize this early and by the time they realize it their idol is dead... I yanked mine from my reef display as they picking was more than I liked on my sps... here are some dated shots of my kitchen 292 gallon... an upgrade from the kitchen nano... :fun4:
left side...
... and right side...
I love all angels... I have a Western Australian male scribbled in the kitchen tank now...
I do an entire one hour talk dedicated to this... but if I could give one sentence of advice on the topic is "keep your corals healthy!"
No sweat Yuri... we'll trade one for one with some kingi...
Thanks Vili... my talk next week at MACNA will be dedicated to this topic...

Can I request you record and do a youtube video, or podcast with your talk? I'd love to hear it, but unfortunately can't make it out to Orlando.
Or some past talks! Specifically, I'd be interested in the socialization of multiple angels and keeping them with SPS coral! While there's a lot of advice out here on RC to be had, I'm most interested in yours.
