2 large angel on 435 gallon mixed SPS tank

[bullitr]

just bought a 5"regal angel today and planning to get a 7"-8" emperor angel soon. will that work on a mixed SPS tank with clams?
i saw last version (mafia tank) have 2 a queen and koran i believe but no clams?
thanks

If I am not mistaken, large angels will typically make quick lunch / dinner of clams. But I could be wrong.

my 300 has a 5 inch asfur and 5 inch regal angel in it. i have a crocea, deresa, and maxima clam in there that they never touch. i recently bought one of those large maximas which shipped poorly and died on the second day in the tank. the angels ate it before i could get it out of the tank. but they still leave the other clams alone. i view clams with angels as a measured risk, tomorrow they may eat all 3, but so far so good. angels are not predictable but i think it is worth trying as i like both angels and clams.

Most angels play nice with SPS. LPS, Zoas, Shrooms, Clams and Rics are all likely targets IME. I just keep a frag tank, I add something, if they nip at it, it is religated to the frag tank permanently.
