questions about Xanthurus Cream Angel

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

I'm considering one of these for my nem/LPS reef. I realize that ALL angels are risky, but I'm wondering how risky this guy is? In looking over a few sites, it looks like they're on the smaller end of the large angels, and according to LA, are reef compatible "with caution" (whereas other large angels are a flat out "NO!"). Thoughts?

It will be hit or miss. When I fisrst started in the hobby 15 years ago I had a flame angel and a coral
Beauty in my reef and they never bothered anything. I wouldn't risk it with some of those special nems you have coming.

Yeah...you're probably right. I was kind of coming to that conclusion anyway...it's too much risk. ...but I want an ANGEL!! LOL

LPS corals would be in greater danger than the anemones with an angel. Something in an LPSdominant tank will certainly make it on the menu.
