Fire angle fish is 55gallon to small

[SOARnTACO]

I’m new to the hobby have a 55 gallon.
Already wish I went bigger. But all my water parameters are spot on after 4 months. Here the issue I feel I went crazy and may have to many fish. I got plenty of filtration but I’m at lime to think with live stock.

I have
2-juvenile clowns
1-cleaner shrimp
1- royal gramma
1-tall spoted blennie
1 - fire angle
1- blue goby
1- red dragonet (eats frozen)
Snails and hermit crabs

Since the last fish the dragonet the angle seems to be moving in a more stressed out pace. Also no keeps pushing the clowns away from the anemone ever time she sees them start to get close to rub it to start hosting the anemone.

Would I be a better fish owner to return the fire angle?

Once again great water parameters and heavily filtered.

Side note ever see a blennie in some way host a coral? Believe it’s a favia if I can spell it right. He lays on it half the day.

Welcome to Reef 2 Reef

If your Flame Angel is showing signs of aggression, then it's probably a good time to take it back.

Your LPS coral is not hosting your tail spot blenny. It may like it there, but there is not a symbiotic relationship going on.

Thanks for the thread and wish you all the best.

Fire angel? Is that a flame or a fireball?

55 is small for a flame angel. Somewhere in the 75-90 range is commonly recommended. Fireball flameback, cherub would be better.

Or the Fireball Angel?:

The Flame Angel is well known for it's worse than average aggression towards other fish and it will definitely pick on smaller fish unless it's in a good sized tank. I had one that targeted my Purple Firefish within about 30 seconds of being introduced to the tank and wouldn't let it out of it's cave and bullied my other fish as well. The Flameback and Fireball can be jerks as well, but would be better suited for a tank of your size and more likely to do okay. A Coral Beauty might work as well, and they tend to be better behaved with their tank mates. Mine is sure much better than my Flame Angel was.
