Eibli Angel for sale or trade

[Sports Girl]

I have an Eibli angel that turned out to not be reef safe (I knew when I purchased it that it may not be, but I wanted to try since I've always wanted one of these and this one has great colors). The LFS I purchased it from has a no return/no exchange policy, but did offer to take it back w/out giving me any kind of credit, so I passed. He's about 2 1/2." I paid $30 for him, would like $20 or trade him for some xenia, shrooms, zoos, something along those lines. Again, he definitely needs to go in a FO tank. I would prefer pick-up or delivery in Turlock-Modesto area only.

Oops, I forgot the pics...

What does he eat in your reef that makes it not reef safe? That could make a difference in a quick sale.

I've had him for a week and he's taken a couple bites of my cabbage leather. He hasn't touched my shrooms, polyps, toadstool, frogspawn, or colt (that I've seen or can tell). I let the first bite go since I thought he might just be trying it and have read most leathers are distasteful to angels, but the second bite tells me he likes it.

Is there anyone who can give him a home?

FWIW, Exotic (47th Ave/MLK/Franklin in Sacramento) will give you 40% resale price in store credit for fish. Not local to you, but better than nothing if you can't find a home.

Thanks for that info, pete! I'm up north pretty regularly so I may make a trip in the next couple of days.

At this point, he's free to good home, my female ocellaris has chosen him as her new punching bag. She's nipped off his fin and I think somehow hurt his eye because it's clouded over (it's on the same side as the nipped fin). I think it's because the coral he's enjoying is extremely close to my clown's anemone, and I think they might have eggs...let me know if anyone is interested, I will be in the Lodi area on Wed...

 

[matttaylor]

I'd gladly take it, but Lodi is still to far from me since work has had eratic hours lately. Are you going to be in Sac any time soon?

 

[Sports Girl]

Thank you, Matt, but I've found someone in Lodi to take him.
