anyone with goldflake angels in their reef, please respond

[d-man]

how were they in your tank?
what did they eat coral wise?
get it small or large?

any possible info would be great. They are my favorite angel and want one, but have an sps, lps, and zoa mixed tank.
just wondering how much of your livestock they ate, at what point in their growth they started eating things, etc.

also i feed alot. i have lots of wrasses and anthias.
thanks
derek

Mine was 2" when I got it. It is about 4" now and has never touched a coral.

ure Zoas and meaty LPS are most likely toast. if you are fine with that, then get one.

Pengill, do you feed alot?

I bought mine at 2''. Grew to 4'' in a year. It did nip at sps and I had no polvp extension during the day

I have had a pair in the past, before a tank disaster, which were very well behaved. I have one now that I have had for about 7 months. It eats red zoas and zoas with red in them. It left my red blastos alone when they were healthy but after changing light bulbs the blastos got a little toasted and the Goldflake decimated two large colonies.

Plenty of Sps I see it occasionally nip at a coral, but it doesn't pick at the same spot over and over.

Got it when it still had juvenile coloring at a little over 3" now it's over 4" and coloring nicely.

As you can see there is plenty for the Goldflake to pic at...
