Hi James, I think it is by luck;

Or you buy from other reefers who has already proven non-nipping angel;

but then again; their behaviour may change in different tanks.

By the way, my african flameback angel from another reefer does not disturb my corals;

though she (I think is a she) chase any other fish now and then.

(-_-) Happy will do ... (o_o)

With LPS, it is not a confirm chance...

They sooner or later will take a chance with eating corals...

With softies, it is more possible..

K. May drop off the idea of having dwarf angel liao :( .

Hi James

Japanese Angels seem to have less interest in corals. Like Watanabe, Bellus, JP Swallow...etc.

If you have precious coral, my 2 cents, drop the idea of angels. They normally cannot be trusted. If "die die" must have a dwarf angel , then maybe Argi angel (some even call it fireball angel if I am not wrong). However Argi Angel is aggressive against fishes smaller then it and also need to be the last fish in your tank else they can chase new comer.

flame for me on the safer side.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

i kept my flame for close to 6 months. it didnt bother my prata, brain or others.

it used to peck on my brain, but no harm was done.

but still, never say never.

Hi Bro,

what is the market price for small Watanabe, Bellus, JP Swallow?

Have search through the web and found that they are pretty safe for reef tank so may introduce either pair if they are not that pricy lor.
