Comments: The blue face angel arrived on time, healthy, and even slightly larger than expected. Colors and markings of the angel are fantastic and overall the fish is better than I hoped for. Although a bit shy at first, it has had a healthy appetite and has warmed up and been swimming around more and more. Customer service from marine depot live has been excellent giving acclimation and feeding recommendations. So far I am very satisfied and happy I ordered.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
