What should I replace Emperor Angel with?

[Kdocimo90]

I had to get rid of my emperor angel because he started nipping at my corals... what do you guys think i should replace him with.. I'm looking for something as gorgeous as him, (but i doubt that's possible).

thanks

Take a look at a swallowtail angel..very pretty fish and is supposed to be reef safe.

ehh im not crazy about the swallowtails

Yeah they look plain to me too.

French angel!

I am sorry you have to part ways with the emperor. He is the main reason I got into this hobby. One day I will have one but I just don't have the space or money to keep one now.

Are you looking for another angel because it looks like most large angels are not reef safe or with caution.

ya most of the "reefsafe" angels are not gonna be as colorful.From what i have heard most other angels are gonna be 50-50 with a few being no chance of not eating your reef.Regal angels can be reef safe or you could have one that like to eat everything.

Really? From Bluezoo.

But, are you limiting yourself to angels? My be pretentious, but I love the achilles tang. I'd also consider something like the dussumier tang (which would get huge).

 

[Kdocimo90]

well i have two tangs in there right now so im not sure..

I seen a full grown Dussimuier - beautiful!
