Tell me your experiences with Centropyge acanthops

[HndMafia]

I am looking to add a pair of dwarf angels to my 210. I currently keep hammers, duncans, wellso brain, lots of palys and zoas. I plan to add a clam and some encrusting montis later. I really like the c. argi, but I've read many accounts of them being bullies. How about the c. acanthops, are they as aggressive?

mine was the only fish in my 40 for a year. i introduced a small mandarin a few mos ago. it bothered him for only a day. i added a pair of bangaii cardinals 1.5mos ago and it only bothered him for a day. i recently added a small occ. clown and he has harassed him the last few days, but it is not constant. i dont think that he likes my bright lights and spends most of his time swimming around in the rocks. he tastes my corals, but has not done any noticeable damage in my mixed reef. i dont have any clams so i cant say anything about that. Great fish so far for me.

if they behave like c. aurotonatus (brazilian flameback) eventually will pick up brains and zooas... they are also more agressive than pacific centropyges. I had a pair in my fowlr as they picked all zooas and some mush I put in this tank as well...

As far as I know from my studies ( I've only had C. argi. Yes, they are bullies!) they will eventually become aggressive. All argi-complex are supposedly...

Matthew,

Did you keep your c. argi with corals? If so, how did that go?
