Flame angel fish ok with soft coral?

[Lex_510]

So I’m picking up a flame angel for free abt 3-4 inches, but I want to know if it’s reef safe with soft coral. Is it risky should I be worried. I have zoas, gorgonian, toad stool, GSP, and other different mushrooms. 75 gallon tank. Thanks

Probably. Most Flame Angels I've had are fine with corals but some have decided to go after certain groups.

I would take that risk! Keep an eye on him.

Hello! Take the risk as it’s because it’s free?

Free and I believe it’s an Angel that’s reef safe with caution.

Hit or miss.

the 3 musketeer from Hawaii - Flame / Multicolor / Potteri always been good with my reef tank

so i would take that risk

Most angels are Reef Safe with Caution, some are less reef safe than others but all of them can be in reefs and do little damage.
I have a Majestic and a Regal in my reef and they’re harmless for now

Be cautious with the Zoas, those guys are generally a great meal for angels and other RSWC animals. So if you have Zoas you like you may want to have a separate tank/lit sump for them or you just ignore the Angel.
