What Drawf Angel is possible in a SPS Tank?

[jc85]

Hi SPS Guru,

I'm considering adding a drawf angel into my tank which now is mainly a SPS tank with a cateye bubble, elegance and some Rics.

I'll like to hear some comments and advice on what angel fish may be worth trying in such a setup.

Thanks in advance..

chances are odd, some will nip some will not, depends on the dwarf angel.

try www.wetwebmedia.com do a search on SPS and angels

[jc85]

All Angel have a high chance of niping on corals especially soft corals. However, as I have since many SPS tank having angel fish in them thus make me wonder what are the most commonly kept angel in a SPS tank.

From my own research, Eibl's Angelfish and Bluefin Angelfish may be worth trying athough the latter is pretty rare here.

Hmm... maybe I should start a poll instead....

my flame angle likes to nip on not doing well SPS.

However, midnight angle is ok.

[DeepBlue]

BEST RECORD so far

[Dispar_Anthias]

If dwarf angel.. yes argi angel shown by deepblue above and acanthops aka african flameback has very good record.....

If you say larger angel den would be regal angels... Many RC reefers keep them with sps and they dun disturb the sps from the day they are bought to their death.. however if you have zoos... den abit diff sotry

suggest sps down first... angels seem to notice which corals are stress... and the stress one will surely be pick on first

[Clownfish]

my orange stripe elibi is ok... but no guaratees for all

Thought I should close this thread since I started it.

I've got myself a Pygmy Angelfish aka Centropyge argi from Iwarna recent shippment., Seems to be reef safe so far.

Cheers
