Not to scare you away from either fish, but it's the same but different with the golden/aurantia angel (Centropyge Aurantia). They are usually collected with cyanide. So fish + cyanide + time = dead fish. Not to mention they are particularly fragile. They are great water quality (usually not a problem) and are extremely shy. I wouldn't keep them with anything other than peaceful fish such as a small goby or fairy wrasse. Larger fish/faster swimming fish will scare it into hiding and will not come out until the perceived threat is gone. Why do all the fish I like have to be either too big, or too fragile?! I have a 90 and a 40B and those couldn't possibly hold a Queen Angel, Bluespine Unicorn Tang, or most Butterflies long term. I've been considering trying a pair of Foureye Butterflies (Chaetodon Capistratus) which are hard to get to eat in captivity, but the place that I'm looking at getting them from has great reviews and say they make sure that they are eating pellet and mysis before shipping. These butterflies max out at about 5in but are more common at 3in. Off topic...
