great photos. Love angel fish. It is amazing how many of us will risk our beloved corals health and keep these amazing fish. My regal and cherub are my two favorite fish. thanks to all for sharing. great thread

Does anyone have any experience with keeping an Imperator Angel in a Reef Tank? I am going to break down my fish only, but I would hate to get rid of the Imperator. In my 120 reef, I have lots of Acroporas, Zooanthids, Xenia, and various LPS corals as well as 3 clams.

You may get away with it. Mine picks at my brain coral. They eat these in the wild that never surprised me. But does not bother my leather, frogspawn. I think your zoos would become a meal but every fish is different.

That looks like a juv majestic angel and a very nice one

I'm not sure how reef safe my Blue Face is. I keep in a FOWLR. It does not nip at any of the inverts in my CC though.

BTW, great stuff everyone! Any more out there?

Ok, here is my contribution to the thread.

how has that goldflake been to keep?

Maro:rollface:

 

[jmicky41]

Maro, the goldflake has been awesome. I've had him going on 2 years now. It eats everything offered and has never shown any signs of disease. It is the biggest fish in my tank, but never shows any aggression to the others. It will however, chase the flame angel out of his territory, but lets the tang or butterfly in for the night. I think the biggest issue with them is getting a good one to start with. I'd avoid the real small juvies or large adults, these may have problems with feeding. I'd say the ideal size to buy one is 3-5 inches.

How big is he in the Picture?

And what are his tank mates?

He's beautiful

Passer Angel - Bad picture, I've had him for about 5 months.

Flame angel and (if you look behind the big clam) my Regal angel. I spoke with his agent about holding still for photos--no dice. I've had him for about 18 months.

A better picture of the Regal from my old tank.

 

[jmicky41]

Maro, thanks for the compliments. It is my pride and joy. I'd say he is about 5", growth rate has been slow. He is in with a small yellow tang, small mitratus butterfly, flame angel, solar wrasse and magnificent rabbitfish. Here is the rest of the gang.
