Angle fish?

[rogergolf66]

Can I put an angle fish in with sps corals? What will they nip at / eat?

What kind of angel? They are quite a few different types......

[rogergolf66]

Well do I have any options in an sps tank? I would love and emperor or a queen :)

Is that for your 120 G? An emperor or a queen will grow too big for a 120 G. You can try some dwarf angels or a pair of genicanthus angels.
Genicanthus has the least tendency to pick at SPS. Dwarf angels have some risks.

Yes for 120

What?

[sandwi54]

an emperor and queen angel get HUGE and need a minimum of 8' x 2' footprint to feel comfortable. your tank is way too small.

look into smaller angels in the geniacanthus genus, such as swallowtail, watanabei, etc.

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing.

Flame angels are awesome and people have had luck with them not eating corals. It all comes down to the individual fish. Also look up bi-colors, lemonpeels, potters, etc.

Emperors and Queens get WAY too big for your tank.

What?

"Angel" does not = "angle"

For a 120g and a reef, I'd ONLY look at genicanthus angels.

Two right angles will get along fine in a 180. ;-)

[dsmith3512]

Take a look at Bellus 'Angle' fish. I have a pair in my 180, they're model citizens.

most species of angel it's a hit or miss whether or not they will eat corals, but you'll have better luck with the Genicanthus or Pygoplites species rather than the larger Pomacanthus angels.
