Here is an updated picture of my Blueface Angel. I purchased it a couple of years ago as a juvenile.

Very nice Kevin. I had a blueface for five years, but that was BTR (before the reef). It was my favorite and it ate right out of my hand. I lost it when I went through a divorce to my first wife. I still miss that fish. If only I could have more aquariums.

Cheers,
Terry B

Kevin...how does the Blue Face Angel treat your corals and how much space does it need? I have had a Harlequin Tusk in my reef for about a year and a half now w/ great success (I have no shrimp).

It liked to nip different corals as different times. I had to remove my Meat coral (T. geoffroyi) and my Moonstone (Favia). It picked on my Yellow leather for a few months then switched to my M capricornis. It would eat it like a cracker . For the last 6 months or so it leaves everything alone but algae maybe it was just a troublemaker as a teen .

They get quite large (15"). I would say they need a 150-180 gal tank minimum.
