Emperor Angel or PBT?

[t5Nitro]

I was interested in either purchasing a medium PBT or an emperor angel. I have a mixed reef containing mainly SPS corals, 1 open brain, no clams, and some soft corals. If he would nip at the soft corals it wouldn't bother me much.

Fish are yellow tang, foxface, 2 clowns, mandarin....

What would be the best pick?

Thanks.

t5Nitro,

Thank you for your inquiry. Most Angelfish are reef compatible with caution and can nip at your stony corals as well as your soft corals. Housing a Powder Blue Tang in an established aquarium with a Foxface and Yellow Tang will most likely cause unwanted aggression and lead to additional stress. Unfortunately, we do not recommend adding the Emperor Angelfish or the Powder Blue Tang to your aquarium. Please contact us with any other questions or concerns.

Any ideas on what would make a good addition? Anything blue or red in particular?

t5Nitro,

We recommend checking our compatibility chart located at the link below to compare the fish you already have in your aquarium with the fish you may be interested in adding. This will help you decide which fish will work best for your particular aquarium inhabitants.
