Looking for information on Cetropyge multicolor

[stunreefer]

Like the title says, I'm becoming more and more interested in the Centropyge multicolor, but have never kept one before. I know many people have been very successfull with this species in all aspects.

I've been debating between this species and the C. joculator to hopefully get a pair or haem down the line. Obviously multicolors are much cheaper and for the most part easier to come by, but Im looking for your experience with these fish, experience with them and coral, and with other angels.....and pics of yours of course!

Also, I've seen many pics, and some of the adults seem to be more drab; Does this happen over time or perhaps its just a more drab specimen or bad pics (by retailers)?

TIA!

I have had a couple of multicolors over the years. They are my favorite dwarf angel. Here is a link to mine in my tank, Multicolor page. I have had this multicolor for about a year now.

Since I love angels I have the tank stocked with corals that are compatible with angels. I only keep leathers, mushrooms, and closed brains. I also have a juvi regal angel that is about the same size as the multicolor, and it doesn't harass it. It has been a model citizen.

Here is a pic of it.

They are great fish but can nip on some LPS.

Thanks for the replies guys! That guy rocks Tremelle!

Im finding myself more interested in the multicolors coloration.... I like the white bodies with the blue highlights.

I dont know if you guys have seen Tregs multicolor, but he kicks a$$! copps posted a pic in this thread: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/s...6&perpage=25&highlight=joculator&pagenumber=2

Missing the sweet blue highlights I like, but really cool none the less!

I've always loved them, but have been cited hardiness issues when I asked. Due to that, their price, and unreliable availability, it's hard to get solid info on them.
