Keeping Angels in a Reef Tank

[gmann]

Just curious on the number of users keeping an Angel in their reef tank.

Now that I have my tank I am thinking about adding one.

Current corals list is: scoly, doughnuts, acans, hammers and torches.

I made a post about this before, but just wanted to see if opinions have changed. Also, changing my desired fish from a Sumatra red coral beauty to a potters.

I have a 100g mixed reef and keep a flame angel. She leaves all the corals alone with the exception of the GSP which she nips at. I wish that she would eat it more to help keep it in check!

The dwarf angel I had LOVED lps. It was delish! Acans, Brains, donuts, anything fleshy. Sympodium, Candycane, etc..

Up to you if you want to risk it.

One Adult Emperor Angel in a 220 gallon SPS only system.

Regal and Majestic Angel in my softie/LPS/anemone reef. Debating about getting an Emperor Angel as well.

I had a Flame Angel in my old 90-gallon SPS tank, and it nipped ALL the SPS. At least it didn't have a favorite, so it never killed anything, but PE was terrible.

well I think im going to take a chance and see how it plays out.

Just wondering would it be best to add it last, or does it not matter when I add the fish in. I am still in the early stages or stocking my tank, so I hope its does not become a douche towards new addictions if I add the fish now.

I would say one of the last . Mine isn't friendly to new comers.

I have had my Golden for about 2 years and I have seen her nip once and a while but have never noticed any damage thank goodness cause she is beautiful

I've had various large angels, BlueFace, Emperors, Queens. About 40% of them were fine, the others all ate everything. It's always a gamble, so if you add one, be prepared to remove it.
