Angel fish for reef?

[Fishman77]

Does anyone have a flame angel or any other kind of angel fish that doesnt bother corals? I just wanted to see if any of them are considered reef safe.

I've had a flame angel in my reef for a few months now and he hasn't touched anything.

 

[fishome25]

i have a blue angel in mine. but they aren't considered reef safe

 

[Fishman77]

I have been thinking to add a flame or coral beauty.

 

[greggnyce]

I have a potters anel for 2 years now, good so far.

I have a coral beauty in my 75G mixed softies and LPS tank and have never had a problem. I do have a tendency to over feed though.

 

[greggnyce]

+ 1 on overfeeding, lol.

I have had a bad experience with flame angels in my sps reef in the past, but I got a multicolor angel almost 3 months ago and he hasn't bothered anything...it is hit or miss with angels

 

[sparky310]

I have had a Flame Angel for almost 2 years with no problems and now I have a Coral Beauty for close to 6 months with no problems

I also have a Flame Angel and a Swallow Tail both have been good citizens. It's my Regal Tang that eats all of my zoas, (had to move them to a separate tank).

With many angels their tastes change as they mature.
JB NY has 3 Flames in his tank with no problems yet.
Zoas can be a problem with many species of ngels.

But they never eat those ugly brown polyps, just the nice ones you paid a bunch of money for.lol

I was given some great advice by an oldtimer years ago. He said "If you want to add an angelfish to an aquarium with corals or clams do it, just know that one day you may have to catch that bastard." This is not to say I haven't tried it a dozen times . And I have had luck with known coral eaters and had "reef safe" guys go rogue. I think someone else mentioned it, every fish has it's own personality
Since I love angelfish I now keep my corals in a different tank
Good Luck Sal

I have a Passer, French and Regal. All is good so far.

 

[rodcpierce]

Ive got a coral beauty in mine and feed once a day, just gotta make sure they are well fed and they SHOULDNT touch any coral.

 

[Fishman77]

I will think about adding one. My problem will be how to caught it in a big tank if gives me problems. lol thanks for all the replys

 

[jong101]

i have a regal, i think he might have picked on one of my softies once, but never any sps or lps

 

[pebe]

I have a coralbeauty,flame,lamark,watanabei,venustus,regal majestic and emperor. The regal eats colorful zoas,emperor eats zenia,but the rest are model citizens,however they are fed 4 or 5 times a day with a variety of food.....regards Pete.
