Coral Beauty/Pygmy Angel

[whirley]

Kicking around the idea of buying either a coral beauty or a pygmy Angel. Are either reef safe?

 

[whiirly]

Some times they are hit or miss as with all dwarf angels

My understanding is that the pygmy (cherub) angel is, more often than not, reef-safe.

Never had a problem with a pigmy, my coral beauty was a xenia mowing machine tho....

Never had a problem with any of the CB's that I've kept over the years, one was about 5 years old when he passed on due to a tank problem.

All fish can be hit or miss. If you keep them fed and condition them to receive their food from you, then you have a better chance of them not touching a thing. I say this from years of experience and observations of both FW and SW fish. But take it for what it's worth to you.

I've had a pygmy (cherub) for several months now without problem. However you may wantto note my tank is all softies and LPS.
