Anemone's and Angel Fish

[tonyespinoza]

I've kept SPS and all the usual suspects including tangs, a flame BTA, etc.

I've not kept angels, but my new system has a 400g display so I now have the space... But with this new system I'm contemplating going anemone-dominated (gigantea, riterri, and long tentacle) with a bunch of clowns and only one island dedicated to SPS.

Can anyone suggest, based on experience, which (if any) angels might do well in a nem-dominated system?

I'm not looking to push my luck -- so any of those that are really hit-or-miss (flame angels?), i'd just assume avoid.

some folks have told me that majestic and blue face might work...

I would say maj's,bluefaces,emps would NOT be safe with nems. I know from experience that all of them ate my nems. Never had them with a carpet but mine ate LTA,BTA's and i would assume ritteri's would be on the menu.
I would say swallowtail angels would be the best bet.

Mine were all 9+ inch angels and they tore up almost every soft coral,Nem, and ate the tips off my sps in my tank. I hated to let them go, But it was the coral or the fish that had to go. You dont see too many 9 inch majestic angels.
