fish ID please
I just purchased a dwarf angel labeled as "Midnight Angel." I've never seen a dwarf angel like this before. It's completely black, like charcoal black.
Anyone familiar with these guys? Or know their scientific name for that matter? I know all dwarves are 50/50 in reef, but anyone kept one in a 30g or less and has success with them + clams, zoas and soft corals? |

the only dwarf angel i have experience with is my Coral Beauty. he nips at my corals, and i dont even want to try a clam because of him. but dwarf angels are 50/50 on where they bother anything or not.
