SRC Member Evolutionz Posted March 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 4, 2014 They are not advisable to keep due to their unique diet of only copepods. Some reefers managed to train them to eat frozen food. I would say at least a 3footer is required for one mandarin so as to have enough pods among the rocks.

Admiraltian Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Flame angels r not 100% reef safe as there's a chance that they might nip at corals. They r however consider the safest of dwarf angels species to keep in a reef tank as some dun bother and leave corals alone. 50-50 chance I would say. Mine do nip at corals and I'm trying to get it out now.
