Coral beauty and rock beauty angelfishes

[reefboarder]

I have a small coral beauty angel in a 120g 48x24x24 and am looking into getting a rock beauty and am wondering if anyone has tried to keep these two together before everything I read says with caution any help will be appreciated thank you for looking

Shouldn't be a problem I would try and get a rock beauty that is a little larger than your coral beauty. Also try and get a rock beauty that is eating well. They can be tough to keep, but if you get it from a reputable source and it is eating you should be fine.

rock beauty is one angel that tends not to have great longevity in captivity. I have a little experience, not much... A few years ago I had one I got small, it grew well and ate well. I thought I had the rock beauty "curse" beat, feeding rock with sponge, angelfish cubes, lots of nori and algae sheets. then after a year it died for no apparent reason - no disease, was eating well, had good color, other fish remained healthy. I think my experience is not unusual. I won't try another rock beauty until I have an idea of what is "the secret" of keeping them long term.
