Thanks cpvince!
The fish room is no more, I made a deal with my wife, all the freshwater out for one saltwater tank. (The reef tank is more expensive than all of those tanks combined... LOL!)

I have a very difficult decision to make...
I recently purchased a beautiful Goldflake Angel.
Two days after going in my display tank, he shredded through my zoanthids, eating nearly half of them.
I'm looking for anyone with experience keeping angels in a reef tank.
If I put him back in my display tank will he stop after all the zoa's are gone, or will he move on to other types of corals?
Do you think its worth keeping him, or should I sell him?
I would really love to keep him and am willing to see some zoa's go if thats all he will eat.
Thank you for the help!

After keeping the large goldflake in my QT tank for several weeks, I decided he already has a taste for corals and that will never change. So, I contacted the person I purchased him from and told him my story. Luckily he just received a shipment with 2 more goldflakes and was willing to trade my larger fish for a smaller goldflake. Here is my new smaller goldflake (2.5"-3"). So far he hasn't even looked at any of my corals and is getting along with all of his tank mates. Hopefully it stays that was indefinitely!

He finally has a name! Lucky!
