I am pretty confident that I want to do a Potter's Dwarf Angelfish with a blue carpet anemone and some acro's. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Will the angel eat my anemone and acro?

Won't touch the Nem. And if it does that will be the last thing he ever nips at. With the acros its a 50/50 shot. I have one that doesn't mess with them. But I know others who do have a problem. I use an autofeeder to feed several times a day. I think this reduces picking by my angels

If your looking for Potter's angels I know that Finz in Tampa gets really good quality ones. Its not to much of a drive. Depending on I-4 and the time of day. With Potter's its all in the collection process. Some potter's only make 6 months others for long times.

I would say they are...atleast the one I have is...its always picking at the rocks and the walls and eats frozen mysis...but I have yet to see it pick at any corals...I agree with the point of collection. I got mine from a LFS down here...they got in about 8 direct from a diver in Hawaii and they were all eating frozen for the 3rd day. Ive seen them from the major wholesalers where they wont touch a thing...

The guy at Finz told me he gets them diver direct. He gets most of his hawaiian stuff diver direct from what I he told me
