Nice fish! What's its future tankmates? Usually, they will have no problem acclimating with smaller fish and can actually dominate the tank in very quick order.

I have one in my 120. Still small at about 4 inches with hints of juvenile colors still present. Probably one of the shyest angels, but they become a bit more outgoing in time. IME, making sure it is the alpha fish in the tank will go a long way towards having it acclimate well. Give it a well rounded diet to include lots of meaty foods; chopped mussel, shrimp, clam, mysis, plankton, pellets, nori, occasional flake food. Mine eats everything. What size tank is he going in?

My bad. I was thinking of P.annularis. Ya, P.navarchus is known to be quite passive and gorgeous too

he is goin in a 210 gal with a purple tang /indian sailfin tang/tomato clown/lwanmower blennie/rolay gramma/cleaner wrasse/green target mandarin.

purple tang is the dominate fish ATM all the fish Are simillar size but the angel is the smallest. he hasnt eaten anything since the other say but he is still a bit stresssed
