lol. I have seen these fish in horrible conditions and looked great. From what I have seen, they are pretty hardy.

They don't have a very good track record, mostly due to lack of eating and the unfortunate use of cyanide in the location in which they come from...Not the hardiest of Angels...But, if you find one in good health, eating and alert...you should be fine. I know there is one Blueface on record living 30 years, I believe its in a public aquarium .
I have one, eats like a pig!! Really the most beautiful fish I have...although he is still a little shy..I put money down on him and left him for two weeks at the shop...wanted to make sure he would live..The store I got him is a little pricey and I can't see spending that kind of $$ on a fish that's going to die!! But mine is doing very well...as stated above include sponge and nori and variety of good foods as well as vitamins such as Vita-chem and Selcon
Good luck!
Oh and here's some reading for you...you can also find faq pages on this fish

Blueface Angels can be tricky to acclimate. Most of the time they live but there are cases where they die in the first week or so. But after they become established, they can be prettty hardy. Make sure they have caves, a good diet and good tank mates. Then your good to go.

A Blueface Angel will eventually outgrow a 125 easy. They need lots of room to swim and to also stretch their fins. I would say in general angels are known to nip at corals and a hard nip can hurt a coral. I would keep an eye on an angel in a reef tank imo. But a blueface will outgrow a 125 eventually.
