    I was just in my local Petco planning on getting something else for the tank when I noticed a beautiful angel. I wasnt sure what it was and it wasnt marked. I knew it was an expensive one though.It is about 5"  The girl looked in her little book and decided it was a coral beauty! and it was on sale.... man what a deal. When I got home I checked into it, and it is a King.. or Passer Angelfish.. Now I have to read up FAST on this fish because I wasnt planning on getting something so amazing. Does anyone have suggestions? I have a bird wrass. small lion, 3 yellow tangs, clarkii clown and two damsels....
    Thanks!

    I like the passer as a Juvi...if you like the adult colors i would hop on that asap....great deal....I dont see how one could possibly mistake that for a coral beauty.....

    the king or passer angel may be the most aggressive of all angels but even saying that, they are by far my favorite angels. run, don't walk, back to that place and get that angel.(do me a favor, ask them if they have any more of those "coral beauties")

    I guess that is good because my tank is semi agressive.
    I have him in there now. so far there have been no conflicts.. we'll see

    Wow that's a great deal for sure, but be ready for a tank upgrade down the road - those angels can get over a foot long!  :eek: They recommend at least a 100 gallon tank for those. But you are at 90 , hmmm... probably work for a while I'd think.

    FYI, can be a polyp nipper too.
