Queen Singapore Angel?

[TomCs]

My first vertebrate addition to my 50 gal tank will be a pair or atleast one twinspot goby. anywhere from 8 months to a year later im planning on adding a dwarf angel (ofcourse).
But ive stumbled across a "queen singapore angelfish" in my LFS, and im not too sure of its origins or overall behaviour apart from being a dwarf angel.
I have to admit that it will be put a reef but only want the one or two coral specimens that t5 VHO's will allow for.
So on the scale of its species is it high on the 'nipping' and/or aggression charts. i haven't been able to fund too much info on its eventual size or any specific dietary requirements either.
Ultimately will it co-exist with the twinspots if it stays small enough to be sustained in a 50gal?
Its definately not a Queen angel nor a Vermiculated, possibly a hybrid beacuse i cant seem to find anything on them online. It was similar to a vermiculated on its butterflyfish like resemblance but with an overall light bronze body and black face/fins.
Sadly it was sold and have no photos of it. Anyone heard of or had one of these before?

Here he is!
Sorry about the crappy photo but its the biggest im allowed to upload atm. So its called a "Cream or Indian Yellow Tail" Apolemichthys xanthurus?
Seems to be ok for what im looking for but still need lots more (possibly first hand?) information.

Yeah, Ive Never heard it called a Queen Singapore Angel.. but whatever.

A. xanthurus is not a dwarf angel either- its one of the smaller of the large angels; you can expect an adult to hit about 6-7" across. Thats not a huge fish, but large enough I wouldnt keep it in a 50g (they are quite active swimmers too). The ones Ive dealt with have proven to be very hardy fish with great personalities.

One down side is that they do nip at invertebrates; its not as bad as say a Queen Angel or something, but I would be very hesitant about putting it in with hard coral, worms, anemones, sponges or clams. Ive not tried to keep a xanthurus with soft corals, but I have with several other Apolemichthys (arcuatus, trimaculatus, xanthopunctatus, and griffisi) with good success, so I doubt xanthurus would be much different.

They arent a very aggressive fish IME- I dont think your twinspots would be in any danger at all. Another nice thing- theyre Cheap! Around here they are anyhow; you can find one for under $50 pretty easily.

Thank you very much for the info, yeah i stupidly assumed about the dwarf, saw the word 'Apolemichthys' and realised im an idiot. Thanks for saving me and a poor angel future problems.

Don't feel bad, I think we've all been fooled by incorrect common names at least once. At least you bothered to research the fish before purchase. Good luck with your new tank!
