The above is one of two articles on angelfish. Please read them both.
The bottom line is that they should only be attempted by very experienced reefers with huge tanks (over 300 gallons). You need be careful with choosing their tankmates and they are very fussy eaters.

Never ever buy an adult angel as typically they refuse to eat and decline and die in our tanks.
