I did and he went after my branching montipora's and favias. Left everything else alone. Now he is in a 165 with softies. Only problem is that he has developed a taste for red zoas/palys. Leaves everything else alone.

All things considered, still glad I got him.

What do flame angelfish normally have a taste for? I think those fish are pretty neat looking.

One of my club member's has a Goldflake in his tank... Gorgeous fish...

t5~ In my experience, most centropyge are hit and miss with SPS, though it is a brave person that throws one in with a clam they want to keep...

You have no idea how much I would love a Goldflake Angel in my 8ft reef. It's been one of my favorite fish for a long, long time.

I'm softie dominated, and while I could live with it picking at most everything in my tank, if it picked at my prize 60+ head Duncan colony that I've grown over three years, and in three different systems( from a tiny 6 head frag that came directly from Julian Sprung), I would be peeved to say the least.

I'm open for thoughts on this one though. :)

My Flame Angel liked Gorgonias and acans.
