Blue girdled angel

[jjoos99]

Ok talk me into or out of getting a blue girdled angel. I have a mixed reef with sps , three acans. Blastos, clam, and just a few zoas and some euphillia. I don't mind loosing the zoas and acans but not my clam and euphillia. They are on sale till tonight for $60 off so I have to make my mind up soon
Thanks
Jeff

How big is your tank?

I believe the majestic angel is known to pick at clams.

I have owned three over the years, all in reef tanks. Euphyllia should be okay, but every fish is different. Acans and blastos are probably on the menu. Zoas could go either way.

Tank is a 210. My biggest concern would be my clam.
lobsterofjustice did you ever have a clam in the tank with the angel?
thanks

I kelp 2 Majestic Angels in the past. !st one for may years in a 400 gal tank with clams and SPS, a few Euphilia. Never a problem. Second was in a 320 with similar animals, I have to remove him after 2 weeks due to problem with picking on corals and clams. After that I start to keep Regal angels instead of Majestic.
