How reef safe is the Rusty Angel? Are they a pygmy angel? How are they compared to Flame Angel? And I guess you would not advise adding a Rusty Angel if there is already a Flame Angel in my tank?
Thanks,

John, thinking about getting one if I can't find a Potter's.....
Raymond, as reef safe as any Centropyge. I have a flame angel and a coral beauty and they are all safe and don't fight. I think you need a decent size tank though.
Saw a Potter's the other day but seems to have disappeared. John, any thoughts on the Rusty?

Thanks for the response Laurence.
I thought about the Potter's before too, but up here the Potter's is quite expensive relative to the Rusty. The Potter's would be at least $80 Cdn while the Rusty would be about half of that.
Which did you add first, the Coral Beauty or the Flame Angel? I hear that the Flame Angel is the less aggressive of your two angels. Is the Rusty or Potter's considered more like the Coral Beauty or the Flame Angel, in terms of aggressiveness?
Thanks,
Raymond
From what I've seen they aren't that aggressive. They might fight a bit but not to the death like territorial tangs. My coral beauty was the established fish when I introduced the flame angel. There was a bit of bickering for 24 hours but after that was cool. The flame was bullied but can now hold its own against the CB if it gets boisterous - which is rarely now.
The Potter's angel is a complete pussycat while the Rusty is prolly more like the coral beauty.
