Angels & Macroalgae?

SoloChromis · 08/03/2015, 09:08 PM

I'm a big fan of macro algae dominated tanks, but I'm also a big fan of angelfish. Obviously these 2 things conflict to some degree, and I know the genicanthus angels are probably totally safe to keep in macro tanks, but what about other angels? I'm most interested in the regal, blueline (Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis), and a harem of Hawaiian flames. Any suggestions on algae-safe (coining a new term I think

) angels (or tangs for that matter)? Thanks guys, I'm really liking this macro community so far
