Golden Angels are a deep water species and should be light acclimated. They also seldom eat prepared foods. Most accounts I have read is that they almost exclusively pick algae off live rock. Perhaps after decent time in captivity (ie a few years) they may take to prepared. They are also very shy. I would consider these a more expert (and/or renegade) fish to attempt.

Although beautiful (that picture doesn't do them justice), GLWS!!!

I have one in our show 220 tank very cryptic moves in an out of the rocks barely noticeable i had him in a quarantine tank for two weeks never eating once, always freaking out when i approached the tank. Know he has been in the display for a month. this week after about 3 weeks of moving around in rock caves he has been coming out a lot more. Only have seen him pick at rotifers during a fish feeding frenzy. Cool little fish so sneaky still very hard to eat prepared foods gonna take time for him to associate me with food.

In the tank are
8 randall anthias
3 purple queen tuka anthias
2 male dispar anthias
5 garden eels
Naso blonde lg
Purple tang sm
And a pair of swallowtail angels.


4 cleaner shrimp
3 sexy shrimps
2 camel shrimps
2 bumble bee shrimps
1 sexy anemone shrimp

Did anyone get these? Wondering how they are doing. Mine are doing terrific my favorite fish for sure.

reef safe ?

 

[NYreefNoob]

this is a expert only fish, that needs a really matured tank to survive as it mainly will only pick at rock work for awhile before becoming accustom to eating pre-pared foods

 

[cmantis]

That is what I heard too but I put them into a brand new tank and they are eating pellets like champs!

From what I understand they are as reef safe as most dwarfs but if and when they pick at coral its usually not to the point of killing them. I don't have any coral though so can't comment on that aspect.

 

[NYreefNoob]

how long have u had yours ?

 

[cmantis]

I guess about a month.

Golden and juvi goldflake both seem happy together and eating frozen very well.
Seems to leave LPS alone except fathead dendro which I have to move
Very happy with this particular golden because he's not shy and come out together with goldflake all the time

 

[crox99]

Scribbled those are two of my favorite fish. I had one of each but they never ate prepared food.

Crox99 what do you feed yours? I use mainly spirulina misys and they absolutely go crazy
Looking to add a juvi Red Sea regal but very difficult to find - anyone seen one for sale?
