My Golden is far from a model citizen for SPS's. Occasionally nips LPS but doesn't touch Z n P'z or any other soft coral at all. Look at setting up another tank soon, so he's going to make a move.

Had a potters and loved him. Never seen him nip at any of my corals in my sps tank. Had him for a year before I sadly lost him. I plan on getting another and hoping I didn't have the only one that was a good citizen. Lol.

I've had this beauty for a few weeks, he's been pecking at my stunner chalice, which is ok because it's the size of a basketball. But he's my favorite fish (other than my purple). Plus I couldn't pass up a 6" majestic for 120. The other sad thing is he only eats flakes nothing else. image.jpg
yea I'd have a hard time passing him up for that retail price

My lfs had an African flameback recently, and I wanted that fish so bad! I've always been fascinated with angels, but haven't gotten up the nerve to try one yet....

I've had a large blue faced angel for about a year now. Absolutely beautiful! Doesn't seem to bother anyone.

I've kept pygmys and flamebacks a couple times. I recently had the opportunity to get a well conditioned venustus directly from Kevin at Diver's Den so I sold the flameback. The venutus is amazing. Still nibbles at a brain or two but hasn't caused any major damage.

Easily my favorite fish!

I love my mated pair of Watanabei angels. They should be reef safe as I am in the early stages of my rebuild and don't currently have any corals in the tank.

Would love to see some photos of yours and hear more about whether you bought them as a male and female or two females and paired them up by yourself. Where did you get them from?

What tang?
My foxface loves acans :(
I had to remove my Foxface after being a model citizen for almost 6 months. I made the mistake of trying a Golden Angel who taught the Foxface how to eat LPS :(

Almost 2 months so far. She eats everything I've fed from mysis, brine, calanus, pellets to flakes. All the difficulties with the fish usually have to do with getting it to eat prepared foods.
Thats really good :)

Just picked up a BiColor Angel, and its a beautiful fish in my tank. I dont have much for corals, just a hammer and a xenia and he seems to leave them alone so far.
