Yours looks so much better than that link that link looks like dried up skin. Is it the place you bought yours from

Thanks. It's a cool looking coral. I bought it from a lfs.
Here's what it looked like when I bought it a few yrs ago.

Beautiful Fish Larry. I hope he does OK for you.

Thanks all.
Little update. The angel did great for 2 weeks in qt. Eating like a pig and always out in the open and not hiding. This is not a shy fish. I took the angel out of the qt early Sat AM and put it in the tank well before the lights came on.
The tang was not happy...to say the least. The angel is bigger and good thing. They went at it virtually all day Sat. The tang got in a few good rips on the tail of the angel and the angel broke off one of it's dorsal spines on the tang. I think the day long battle ended in a draw. Sunday they were tolerating each other. Both look a little beat up, but no major damage. When I put some nori in the tank, the angel was the 1st to feed.....which never happened before. The tang always ate 1st and the others waited till it backed away. Maybe a change in tank dominance?

I live near Wilkes-Barre.

How about them Flyers! wooohooooo
I hope to be at the home game on Tues in Philly. They can definitely beat the Pens, but I don't think anyone can touch Detroit.
