LF info on Marshall island Multicolor Angelfish

[zef004]

I know I have research this angelfish before and found that they are not good for reeftanks. But the guy at my lfs that has one FS said he been saleing these angelfish for years and never had any complaints about them pick on sps,lps or clams. I know he maybe just saying this to sale the angelfish I like to hear some peoples views that have or had these angels in a mix reef tank.

Thanks for your help

I have kept this species in reef tanks without issue.

I actually had a trio of juveniles in my NPS LPS system.

I have one in my reef and no issues that I can see.

Mine will nip at time from time --- SPS, zoas, and clams -- I had to move one of the clams to another tank, leaving the other ones alone.

My experience has been 50/50 (2 of them)

I have one and he nips but never damages anything. I have a full mixed reef with a large clam.

My LFS have 1 in a mix reef (sps, lps and clams) and I don´t see damage in corals.

I had one that left LPS and zoas alone but loved SPS. He destroyed SPS polyps and I lost a few pieces which sent him back to the LFS. As a disclaimer, I buy my SPS small so he was going after 1-4 inch frags which makes them more likely to die from some nipping. I really hated getting rid of that fish, he was amazing.

I have a pair. They DO nip at corals. But morst angels do (pygmy or not). They don't damage any healthy coral. A weak one on the other side: nice meal...
