Pygmy Angelfish

[Bjohn]

I have a 37 gallon tank with a mix of zoas, lps, and sps. I also have an orange stripe prawn goby, a bangaii cardinal, and two false percs. Do you think I can fit a pygmy angelfish into there?

Most PA like to nip at corals. Not all though, sometimes you get lucky, I have a coral beauty in my 110g SPS dominant with no troubles. Some kinds are more prone to nipping, like bi color angels. That's up to you on bio load though

Is the tank big enough for it

I have a cherub/pygmy in a 15g, it'll be fine.. he may outgrow the 15 at some point, but for now he seems happy as can be.. he doesn't nipped my corals or my clam, keep it fed well and yours shouldn't either (although every one is different, keep an eye on it). very entertaining fish.

Like I said, the bio load is up to you.
It depends on many factors, skimmer, rock, age of tank , refugium, etc.

If you're looking at a true pygmy, like a cherub, fisher's, or flameback you should be fine. Keep in mind these guys are a risk to nip corals, but are among the least dicey of any of the dwarf angels. They can also be aggressive.
