hello,

i'm plotting ahead for stocking ideas on my 60g nem cube, and thought about adding a couple of angels.

would angel fish pick at an anemone? i know that they are not particularly reef safe, but i believe that is as far as coral go. what about nems?

experience? thoughts?
 
I had a flameback angel in a 4ft 60 gal with nems no problem. With him being territorial I couldn't imagine another angel in the tank.
 
i have flame, lemonpeel, flameback angels in a tank with gigs, haddoni and roses never a problem.

one of the member here have a very large Emporer angel with a large gig for years. his name is Gary something...... sorry i dont remember his last name :)
 
Dwarf angels should give you no trouble with anemones. I would be more concerned with hosting anemones like haddonis eating the angels.

Plotting? Hatching those evil plans, eh! :lol:

Agree that angels are unlikely to give large nems any trouble. Some will eat Aptasia and majanos, but that's a good thing. Also may eat zoos, maybe not a good thing. I've kept large Angels with magnifica amemones many times, though if any fish even looked at the anemone the wrong way my clowns were all over it.
 
I swear I posted this earlier but it is gone.
I have a Flame angels pair in ny 65 gal with Gigantea, Malu and two small BTA. All doing fine. I afraid one of these day my Flame will become meal for the Gigantea
 
Thanks for the info. Looks like I will stick with a single angel of either a flame or lemon peel.

Ca1ore, exactly... Plotting... (Sinister laugh) hahaha... That's how it starts. And the wife thinks I'm just scanning the internet. up to 2 tanks and rising :)

Minh, I'm looking to have a somewhat similar stocking list. I have a sebae, bta, and lt for the bottom section. I'm still looking for a nice gig. I'm hoping that it will stay on the peak of the rocks in the middle of the tank. Once I find the right gig, I will let it settle, and then add the others back in.
 
I had an emperor angel and lemonpeel angel that would nip at my Hadonni. They were smart too, nipping only the edges of the Hadonni.
