Dwarf Angel in Anenome Dominated Tank?

[C-Reefer]

My plan for my JBJ24 nanocube is to turn it into an anenome dominant tank. Bubble tip to be specific. Would a Flame Angel or Coral Beauty eat the anenomes? I was thinking they wouldn't because... ya know, they're anenomes, but I don't want to take chance if there is a chance. A dwarf angel has been my dream fish for a long time but no way am I taking my chances in my LPS/zoa dominant tank.

No they won’t eat the anemones

Flame or coral beauty angel need a bigger tank than 24g.

There would be no swim space at all, really tank is too small for just the fish alone, but add a mine field of anemone and it's probably not going to end well

 

[Areeflover]

I will say if you can find one really really small you could fulfill your hobby dream of at least owning one for a while before rehoming it

I think a cherub is your best bet in that size of a tank .

 

[Areeflover]

Or a flameback similar size

Pygmy Angel from Caribbean would work.

 

[davocean]

Even liveaquaria that tends to undershoot tank minimum size for these animals calls 55g to be the minimum for even a pygmy, 70g for coral beauty, and keep in mind a grown BTA is going to be about 18" in diameter, and that's just one, can anyone imagine what swim space there will really be left?
It would be near impossible for the fish to avoid nem tentacles

Another "nay" vote for any dwarf angel in a 24 gallon.

 

[eatbreakfast]

Agreed, 24g is still to small for a cherub.

I’m in agreement that the tank is too small for the fish you want.

If your looking for great color and activity, how about a trio of azure or yellow tail damsels?

Flame or coral beauty angel need a bigger tank than 24g.

Agreed. I had a flame in a 36 gallon and it wasn't full grown and looked ridiculously cramped. It's not about the size of the fish but the level of activity of these fish. I would say even a pygmy needs a 40 breeder. I agree that Damsels could work if they are the only fish in the tank.
