it bothers certain corals

What kind of corals will it bother? Sure is a pretty fish.

unfortunately there is no easy completely correct answer. It all depends on the particular Emperor, how hungry it is, coral placement, etc.
I've posted many previous threads regarding keeping certain inverts with an emperor Angelfish. This Angelfish (along with my Anthias) is why I hooked up an auto-feeder.

I can almost guarantee you that corals such as Scolymia and Cynarina won't last long with any Emperor Angelfish. Some of my other open brain type corals were getting destroyed until I moved them. Same thing with my clams.
The safest blanket statement for me to post is that no coral is safe from a big hungry Emperor Angelfish, yet if you research what you're doing you can keep many corals successfully with one.
Am I making any sense?
:D

Perfect sense,I think but how would I know:D
 
Gary how big was he in the first pics 2 years ago ? Was that when you first got him ? Pics do no justice for JR he is by far the best looking fish i have ever seen , Hopfully mine turns out like him just finishing out hes change now .
 
I got this fish when it was around 4" length.
Most unfortunately, I sold off some of my LPS just prior to introducing this fish.
I say 'most unfortunately' because (to date) he doesn't bother my LPS (much... if at all).
 
as for photo chronologies

as for photo chronologies

this is good as it gets.
In the beginning months of owning this fish I didn't realize how fast it was changing. (Sort of like watching your kids grow- before you realize it... one day they're taller than you!)
Even now I'm unsure if Junior is done growing.
 
You should enter one of those in the photo contest at CF Gary, worth a shot at a gift certificate!! Your pics are always amazing!
 
Hes a beauty seeing him up close and personal was a treat. my son still talks about him. I love the pic of the cleaner cleaning him that has to be my favorite one.. geat pics !!!
