The Holacanthus of the eastern pacific (H. Passer and H Clarionenisis) seem to behave differently from other large angels in that they often show up in large congregations. Is my impression of them accurate? From what I have read about them, the only concern in keeping them in home aquariums is their preference for somewhat cooler temperatures (close to 70). I have kept Passers and they are bold, personable fish. You are justified in being proud of this beautiful clarion!
These used to cost about $200.00 in the US back in the 80s when there were no restrictions on harvesting them. They have always been my all time favorite angel. I had a nice sub adult along with a gorgeous bright Orange Garibaldi in a 300 gal tank along with a New Caladonian Tusk, adult, Queen, a gorgeous Emperor, a large Asfur, 3 Purple tangs and 2 yellows. I loved that tank!
Awesome indeed, such a beauty. I'd try to get one if the price was far more reasonable and they were more common. Such a gem. What are you feeding him?
My local aquarium store has one for sale for 15,000! I really hope you got a better deal than that for your fish.

@catsaretimtams That's a rip off, more like a $2000 fish

Still alive and well. He has grown a bunch since introduced to the main tank. He is a little over 5" now. Awesome fish
