Bought him in 2010 something like 2 inches big. Pic below is from 2011 and he just started to change colour.
He is still going strong and is of course speaking loudly whenever he is hungry or dissapointed about something. He likes pellets but also from time to time we swap a stone from the sump full of sponges to keep him happy. He will nip corals if he gets to hungry but surgeon fish does the same.
Today he is about 10 inches.
I think he is photobombing most of this video (video in swedish...)

Brutus as a child.... I purchased at about 2" and had him until he was 7 - 8". I sold him because I wanted to keep clams.. As he/she matured it became a paly eating machine... Even when young, it had a thing for orange anything, acans, palys, zoazs, anemones.. anything orange. Very cool fish!

Is that an acanthophyllia in the second and third photos?
I think you are referring to the lobos? I have had a couple acanthophyllia.. but they ended up getting damaged from a lemon angle... I hated that fish.... beautiful... but the second worse mistake I have made in my 38 years of reefing. As it matured, it distroyed many of my favorite acros...

Share a profile of your pomacanthus imperator.
Photos and your experiences:
How long have you had it? What are its favorite coral snacks? Any corals it ignores? Fun stories? Did you Qt?
Concerns? Did you name it?
I am hoping this thread will help us learn more about this awesome fish and give them the best care we can.
