Did you mean a "Maculosus" angel? They are fairly hardy, but they can grow quite large. What tank are you going to place it in?

Depending on the tankmates and corals, the fish would probably do OK in a 210. Post photos if you do get one, as they are beautiful fish.

my lfs is checking avaliabilty from his supplier as today is his fish order day.... my lfs is the only place i buy fish from and i have been bying from him for over 25 years....and i would estimate my long term survival rate at 98% (not counting stupid stuff i done in the begining)

I much prefer to get fish from my LFS rather than via online order. First and foremost, if the fish dies during shipping, I don't have to worry about exchanges, payments, refunds, etc. Plus, my LFS guy makes sure that any fish I buy is eating and healthy before I take possession of it.
