Has anyone kept lemon peel angels with a coral beauty curious theres one at a lfs i have my eyes on but idk if they will get along with my coral beauty

What size tank? I've kept them both with three other Centropyge but the tank is a 300.

Depends on tank size, attitude of coral beauty. In a tank under 4' long, I'd probably not chance it. In a longer tank, maybe. Does the coral beauty bother other fishes? How long has the coral beauty been in the tank? Plenty of hiding places? How difficult is it going to be to catch the lemonpeel if problems develop after you've added him to the tank?

I would consider a 75 borderline, lemon peels can be very mean so might limit the amount of time you see the coral beauty, on the other hand it might be fine. What ever you decide, I’d have a back up plan ready just in case.

Good too know i just wanted some input before i jump head first into a pile of rocks dont want to mess up the good thing i have going

I would advise against it in a 75g. Centropyge species can be particularly aggressive to congenerics in confined spaces.

My captive bred flame and biota coral beauty went to war every night in my 90g, you might get lucky but I won't be trying to mix them again until I have my proposed 300g set up. Beauty now has its own 55 Fowlr, you might get lucky but I would definitely make sure you have an exit strategy if they kick off, which may involve a tank teardown!
