That would be a big fat NO

That's a beauty, though...

 

[sponger0]

Yes it is. That would make a 300 gallon or more fowlr worth it

Here is another shot of him I took today. I have had him for about 7 years since he was a little blue and black baby. I built this tank and system so I could continue to keep him and my other Angels when they started out growing their old 185. They actually do fine with the large SPS's. I actually loose more pieces from my kole tng picking up and moving frags. "Reef Safe" is a relative term. I dont recomend the large Angels for most people as they live a long time and get really big. However, If you are willing to make the comittment in time and equipment then they do very well in an SPS only tank.

Gorgeous fish, I have always loved the empire.

I have an Emperor Angel in my 120 SPS only tank and zero problems. Has never nipped at the SPS, my theory is that its like munching on a cement post.

All my fish mouth my corals, especially my tangs. They eat the slime. But this guy takes bites off of the ends of them. Not a lot though and the corals he picks at just grow a lil shorter and stubbier. I have four other Angels in the tank. My Golden Flake is also a pretty serious nipper. Regal , Majestic, and Golden dont botter the SPS much. But they all nip.

Man that is a beautiful fish!!! Im too much of a chicken to put one in my tank

 

[ebacon]

From folks I've talked to they may nip here and there but as lonk as y keep them fed it's really the luck of the draw

Another Big Emperor

Another Big Emperor

This big guy is sort of famous among the Upstate NY members. I've seen him in person and he's a gorgeous beast of a fish. He's in a mixed reef and you'd have to ask Gary whether he snacks on any of the corals.
