Hi everyone. Pretty new to the saltwater world still. I have a 135 gallon mixed reef aquarium that is currently the home to a yellow tang, a starry blenny, and a pygmy cherub angel. I know most people recommend that only one dwarf angel be kept in a tank, but I was wondering if this could be forgiven in a 135? And what kind of experience have any of you had with the lemonpeel angel? Any coral nipping? *Knock on wood* I've been lucky so far that my angel hasn't bothered anything!

I love my cherub angel. He's an active little guy/gal and likes to swim with the yellow tang. It's fun to watch them eat an algae wafer together or graze on the algae sheets. For extra enjoyment I've attached a video of the crew. Sorry for the poor quality as it was taken with a phone, but it does the job well enough I think.

Your Cherub can be aggressive. I would also worry about the Yellow Tang picking on it due to the similarly in color. Last but not least, you run the risk of it eating your coral.
