Angelfish

Hi everyone. I have a 240 gallon reef tank. Currently I only have a few fish. The tank has been setup for about 7 months now. Recently I got the urge to get an Angel. So I looked around at all of my options. Obviously I wanted something "reef-safe". So I got a Regal Angel> I knew they were a difficult angel to establish to a tank, but I gave it a try anyways. Now two months later I have a 4 inch Regal that will eat out of my hand. She is the star of the tank. She is not shy in the least, and begs for food any time someone enters the room. Now the Kicker. I am in love with angels. I know they are territorial, but can two large angels be kept in a 240 gallon tank. I am considering either a Majestic or Gold Flake. Which would be the better choice. I know it can be done, but how difficult is it, and what needs to be done. So should I stick with one, or go for two. Also how do large angels and dwarfs get along.
Thanks~Michael

I think you shouldn't have a problem with another angel in a large system like you have. Dwarves and large species usually get along well for the most part. The majestic is one of the better choices as far as being reef safe large angel and so far mine hasnt nipped any of my SPS corals. All angels are different and some can be quite destructive however so it does involve some risk, what corals do you keep? I would probably choose a majestic (they are just an awesome fish) and one that is a little smaller than your regal if I choose to add another.

Currently the system is mainly LSP with a few SPS. But Long term it will be primarily SPS.
Thanks for the info.
