HB thanks for the interesting info. I'd appreciate more experienes from people with Potter's and Blue Reef Chromis.
I've tried a few Potter's over the years and would definitely agree they're not as easy to care for as most other dwarf angels. I currently have one in my 55. I've had it about a month (2 weeks in QT first). So far it's looking good and eating ok, but I still think it could die at any second, due to my previous experiences with them. It was a picky eater at first, but luckily I leave my QT running at all times and it has a healthy population of copepods, amphipods and mysis shrimp, which the Potter's devoured.

I previously tried one about 7 months ago. It got a few white spots on it during quarantine, and the next day it was dead, before I had a chance to get the hyposalinity going. I've had similar failures in the past, often they won't eat prepared foods.
