Opinions on angels in a reef

[Dale D]

I take care of a few reefs with dwarf angels ( African flameback and Golden angels ) in them and have had no problems with them.

Years ago I had a bicolour in my own reef and it would not leave my clams alone.

The only angel I have in my own reef now is an Argi and he doesn't bother anything.

At work we put a lemon peel in a display reef and it killed a very large Derasa clam in about 2 days. Before we knew what was going on the clam was too far gone to save. It had been in the tank for a long time before the angel was introduced. Lemon peels are supposed to be one of the riskiest to try in a reef tank, but, like rcipema has just said his is a great fish. When you put an angel in your tank you never know what you are going to get.
