if you love the fish, isnt it worth it to have what you love?

Good point bro, I bet that guy with the emperator love that fish enough to place it in his reef tank

I have lps corals, and I love the flame angel. To me the beauty of the flame is worth a few polyps every now and then.

I added a flame angel to my 90 gal reef which also contained a coral beauty. The beauty chased the flame for a couple of days but are now
doing well together. Not bothering the corals.

I have a Flame Angel in my 55 and have had them before in this tank and my 125 and I guess I was lucky, because they never bothered anything. I mostly keep softies though so that may be the difference.

I had a flame angel for over a year and never had an issue with him picking on corals. I have a 55 gallon mixed reef. I recently had to get rid of him because I lost a new Tang to bullying. I'm pretty sure it was the angel that was bullying, at least I hope I'm right or the killer is still my tank...lol.

I have a Flame Angel in a 120 mixed reef for over 2 years. Never a problem.

My wife said if I wanted my 90 gallon in our living room, it had to have a flame angel. I told her about the risk and she asked again if I wanted the tank? We have a flame angel and after a year, it doesn't nip on my LPS, SPS, Zoas nor my clam....

Love the fish and I get great polyp extension!!!

I had a trio a while back. Mixed tank. Corals did just fine. The alpha male and alpha female did their courtship dance every night at 7pm. Beautiful to watch. Great addition to my tank.

I run a SRO INT 3000 rated for 300g on my 125g and I run biopellets and GFO, so I have the hardware to support over feeding without an issue, I feed daily, I have fat fish

I have a flame in mine, but in past had a queen and bicolor in reef tank for years. One day I added a emporator that taught them both to like zoas so they all left. My flame has been in sps dominate tank for over a year no issues just feed a lot for the first few weeks make him only want what you feed and always have algae to graze on.

Sorry if this is off topic but what is the price of flame angels where use are at my LFS it's $150 for a 2 inch fish

jakejags · Dec 24, 2013

I have a mated pair of flame angels in my 72 bowfront and I've never seen them mess with any corals. I think the colors in the fish are worth the risk

miamiangler · Dec 24, 2013

I have a Flame angel in my 65gal mixed reef and does not bother any corals . I got it when it was 1.5 inches . I got it at I think a good price 35 US Dollars . I really liked the U-tube vid . Love the angel mix !

I have also had a flame angel for years as well as lemon peel and coral beauty, lemon peel would nip at my clam every once and a while but I have never seen my flame or coral beauty nip at anything.
