Lemon peel angel

Hilltopreef90 · Nov 2, 2021

Does anyone have a lemon peel that has done well in a reef tank?

I currently have one. Model citizen, hasn't munched a thing.

As a side note, if you like SPS, and polyp extension, forget about any dwarf angel. I swear to god SPS can smell the little buggers.

A friend of mine had one and got rid of it for munching corals and being mean. It dissuaded me from getting one.

Another angel question between an flame angel and a coral beauty is one better then the other in a reef tank ?

All the dwarf angels are a crap shoot. You either get a good one, or one that eats coral.

I ended up getting a coral beauty but like @homer1475 said, I think it’s just a roll of the dice. I started noticing some nibbling on some sps and took out my emerald crab when I’m now pretty sure it was my coral beauty.

Coral Beauty angels are known to be more reef safe but if you want colour and you find a reef safe one, Flame angels are nicer.

Nicer as far as temperament or looks ?

Looks, I’m unsure about temperament but it’s probably the same as most other centropyge angels.

I have had a coral beauty (in a dish only tank) - model citizen. My boss has a flame angel (in a reef tank) - w/ softies and some LPS - model citizen. I've heard they're all "reef safe with caution though.
