Multibar - Marshall vs. Philippines
Can anyone comment on whether Marshall Island sourced multibar Angels are hardier than their Philippine counterparts?

Philippine caught fish always have the risk of cyanide poisoning.

Can't really answer your question but, if available, the Vanuatu ones often arrive eating pellets. Perhaps they're also in good nick as Vanuatu is only a short flight from Sydney.

Other than being collected more responsibly, no. They can be a challenging fish, much like potters are.

OK, had read that reef builders article and was looking for any additional data points. I've typically been able to keep the potters over the long term and rather figured the multibar was of a similar ilk.

I think they are very close as far as requirements and difficulty go. I think they should be avoided unless they are going into a large reef environment... you should be good

Potters...there is another darn pretty fish that sounds like I may have to scratch off my list
 I'm running out of smaller angels to add.
