WTT Flame Angel for coral

[tom]

Looking to trade for corals. Had this since 2018, healthy other than a physical left eye injury it got in 2018 leaving fish with bubbled clear cover as per1st pix. FYI - after being a model citizen, it wiped out Pocillapora & GSP while nibbling some zoas. Located in Central NJ

Whose the other fish in the second picture? Looks nice!

Best me to it. Been looking for a Flame.

@Wilson, looks like an Anthias; maybe a Bartlett.

That second fish is a male lyretail anthais

 

[MadReefer]

Well I got the Anthias part right.

Thanks. Female Lyretail Anthia, males are purple. These were the few, if not only, anthias that ate dry food which was important to me esp when we are travelling. Otherwise it gets fed frozen in the morning and dry in pm.

@tom So you typically feed twice a day and they're okay? Everyone says due to their high activity, they need to be fed several times a day, up to 4 or 5 times or they starve.

yes, had it almost 2 yrs now. That was my concern at first but it's been fine, there may be pods in my tank that I don't see otherwise 2x/day and only 1x/day via autofeeder when we're out of town.

I usually do frozen every other day, pellets and algae flakes 2x daily.
