Absolutely you can keep those fish in a large system. It is all about when and how they are added. I tend to switch up territories and provide alot of cave work so that a new angel can acclimate. Others add least aggressive first and so forth. I also use the old "mirror trick" to divert attention from a new addition to the tank. Also, I know that if aggression does break out I can remove the fish to my sump for a time out. I can tell you right now though that the angels I am keeping are not reefsafe. My goldflake has been eating LPS and my Chrysurus was nipping also.

Sorry I haven't kept up with this thread, but most the time when I post I get no response. My blue line is doing great. He eats frozen mysis, OSI marine & spirulina flakes. I tried frozen krill but he didn't care for it. This weekend I got him to go off the flakes and go to the OSI pellets, to try to keep him fat with out missing up the tank.
Besides the blue line I've got a majestic angel and a dwarf golden angel. I have a tank that holds SPS, LSP, softess, and clams. None of my angels have touched anything. Don't get me wrong, I had a emperior angel for two years with no problems. Then one day it desided to eat everything.
I've been in the hobby for many years. I've tried everything at least once. When you've been in the hobby for years you'll try doing things that are hard to keep or are not suppose to be kept to gether. I've gotten luckey.

Once properly acclimated and established in a tank they are pretty hardy. I wouldn't designate them as a "bruiser", but like any of the larger angels becomes territorial and somewhat aggressive to other angels or fish of similar size or shape. If your LFS is getting them regularly and they "look ratty" it is likely due to the fact that the majority of these specimen are juiced with cyanide. I seemed to luck out thus far, as mine is eating like a pig. He is getting along well with my other angels and gets hassled very little by the Chrysurus that is similar in size. I think it woild be suitable for your FOWLR, however it will likely need more room as it gets bigger. I think they top out at around 9-10".

Not unless Annularis are going for $2 these days. Reason I say that is because on Saturday I went to a LFS in Fullerton California and they had about 12-15 of these bluelines and they were going for $40 each fish. At first I thought they couldn't be bluelines so I acted as if I was a noob and asked what kind of angels they were since they looked so nice and that's when I was told they were Blueline Angels. Very beautiful fish either way and nice purchase.

The $40 Bluelines are cheaper than what the wholesaler charges the dealers. Thats almost the wholesaler's cost. He got that cost because he imported them directly from the collectors in Vietnam. You should see what the actual fish cost minus the shipping/box/permit charges.

Just wanted to update. My Blue Line Angel is doing great. He eats like a pig. When I've got my hand in the tank cleaning or moveing corals around, he bites at the hair on my arm. He eats out of my hand now. I started feeding him OSI pillet food to try to keep him fat. It doesn't matter what food I give him. He eats it all. If my wife walks up to the tank he hides, but when he see's me, it's feeding time.
He has not touched any of my corals. I also have one clam, which he has not bothered. He get's along with my other fish, and my other fish don't bother him. My powder blue didn't like him at first, but now it's cool.
