Yellow angel or flame angel?

[brett559]

This week I sold my yellow tang and my coral beauty. I'm missing the bright yellow of the tang, and since I don't have any angels at the moment, I'm considering a yellow angel (Centropyge heraldi). A local fellow reefer has one for sale - a year old, eats well, not aggressive and hasn't nipped at his corals. I like the idea of knowing (somewhat) what I'm getting. But I've also always liked flame angels.

I'm sure these are very similar being both dwarf angels. Any experience with these? I've heard flames can be mean and sometimes shy.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Why did you sell the Yellow tang? Maybe replace it with smaller one?
Personally, over the past 40 yrs, I've never had a tank without a flame angel, in fact, I now have 4 in my DT...but I'm aware of some people having trouble acclimating them to 'tank life'...maybe a problem due to collection/shipping methods

He was too aggressive and I already have a blue tang, so I don't want to risk another tang. The flames are beautiful. My LFS had a big one that I was going to pick up, but he sold it last night.
