Ok to Mix These 2 Angels in a 180?

[gildorph]

Looking for insight on adding a second large angel to my tank. I have a 180G. My stocklist is:
Annularis Angel
Flame Angel
CB Angel
PBT
YT
Mag Foxface
Pair of Blue Throat Triggers
Pair of Ocellaris Clowns
Watchman Goby
x3 Chromis
squarespot anthias
Banggai Cardinal

I am considering adding a Goldflake Angel. I previously (6 months ago) had a regal angel that unfortunately got sick and died. The aggression between him and the annularis in my DT was minimal. I have a mixed reef and am aware of the risk involved with this fish.

I think this would be a good choice, but would consider temporarily putting the annularis in another tank until the goldflake is established.

I would worry about the initial aggression from the tangs more than from the angel. With that said I would definitely QT the GF till its eating and treated for possible internal parasites.

Good reading on GF here:

I've a 6" GF with a bunch of 3-6" angels without any problem. It took him a while to eat prepared food but now he eats everything from pellets to nori. I have a 2" GF in separate tank that didn't take long to start eating pellets & flakes but took much longer before eating frozen. Once eating and established they're pretty easy to take care off and certainly no push overs.

I was just reading that thread. Interesting how the problems seem to develop over time.

My PBT is always aggressive to new introductions over the first 24-48 hours. I'm definitely worried about that. I've been informed that the fish I was looking at is eating flake, pellets, and mysis.

When I'd the PBT he was like that for 2-3 days but was relentless with one of the new angel so I'd to remove him. I just love angels more.

I've heard too many times that this fish or that fish I was about to buy are eating this or that to a point now I just presume they're not eating when they arrive and QT. I find 2" specimens require a lot of attention the first couple weeks but they are certainly much easier to get to eating prepared food.
