i would say deal...but watch the angel .. it might eat brains zoas and xenia

No Deal. Way too much for a 24 gallon. With that much tank, you'll be limited to 2 small fish. Maroon, Yellow Tail Damsel and Flame Angel each grow too large to be kept in that size of tank by themselves.

No deal, Number 24. :D The Flame Angel isn't really a good fish for that tank IMO. And like Returnofsid said you will be limited to only small fish.

for that price, id say deal. bring the fish to your lfs and get credit. the flame angel will get you at least $30 in credit by itself.

Semper FI has a good idea there actually, I didn't think of that. I changed my mind. Deal.

I went ahead and got it. Everything looked very good. Suprised as he had quite the bioload. He said the Flame never nipped coral, and his corals were proof. LR some sand, Maroon, Damsel,crabs/snails, xenia and leathers(toadstool and 3 fingers?) went to my 55. Everything else went to the 120. Just hope that Angel stays well behaved in my tank. Nano is up for sale. Pics when the lights come on.

Yeah, just watch the angel...he may even snap and decide he likes corals one day...but you know what...I doubt it. I know a few reefers with flame angels and they have no problem...and I have a coral beauty who's been a model citizen in my reef for a couple years and no problem.
