Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus "Vermiculated Ange

[daveverdo]

Anyone have one of these? How would it fare in a 90g with a Foxface, 2 ocellaris, and a 6-line wrasse.

I may also add a Melanus wrasse, a centropyge angel, and a blenny or sand goby.

I also have mostly mushrooms, palys, candy cane, and frogspawn. I may be adding a hammer or torch.

NOTE: A also have a sump so total water volume is 130+

Singapore angel...you have a 50/50shot that it will acclimate well and eat.
If remember correctly they are sps and soft coral nippers,as well as clam mantles
They also can be territorial..just my 2 cents..I wouldnt there are other angels such as genicanthus family which are more reef friendly

Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus

is a good choice for a 90 reef IMO but "standard" Angelfish rules apply:

expect the unexpected

Had one for about an hour. Crazy nipper. Went after SPS polyps right away. Very cool fish but depending on the individual you might take some coral loss. At the very least it will keep your corals closed up during the day. Of course your mileage may vary. I'm sure you can find a person with a "model citizen" fish that never bothers anything. I think that will be the exception rather then the rule.
