Dwarf/Flame/Pygmy angel - Size/Tank Requirements

[muck]

I love my White-Tail Pygmy Angel (Centropyge flavicauda). She has been a model citizen and has never nipped at corals or clams.
They can be a little aggressive to newcomers (as with most dwarf angels). The best part is they don't get much bigger than 3" so one would work in your 44G tank nicely.

Hey Nick! I had a Dwarf Pygmy Angel in my tank....65g hex reef(tall tank with only 24 inches across) it was really happy, never bothered any corals or stuff in the tank...until it jumped out... ARGH!

LOL - d'oh. That's my only concern, I don't have a top on my tank. Hrm. Well, I'd rather not lose a fish to a very gungky floor - but I DO really like them. Do you think adding one in with the tank now would be a bad idea? I could really use some help with diatom algae
