i keep it! i dun dare to gif my opinion..

mine is reef safe..

but general case..they are not!

[Dazza]

my is safe too.

[AquaRa]

angels are prone to nip at corals. therefore, they are not reef-safe. so must see whether u heng anot. if heng den ur angel won't bite corals lor.

haiz, my flame nip at my prata & brain so they r not opening very well.

[FuEl]

I rather give angels the miss altogether. Why play with fire when you know you will get burnt one day? Unless you like the cheap thrill?

[Tanzy]

Problem with angels in the reef is best summed up by Agent Smith, "Not impossible but inevitable."

Seemingly reefsafe specimens will one day turn on the corals if kept long enough.

Yeah.... But Flame Angels are just so so so so so beautiful!!

[akumanohi]

yea yea~ i ket 1 too~ they r real beautiful! love them much! erm... mine is reef safe. but i dun dare to comfirm urs~mine is also quite hardy~

My sea fan become 'botak' after i introduced my FA.

[ah^siao]

mayb can buy them when they small?

then train them not to nib corals?

[Achilles Tang]

I used to have flame angels... I would say most would inevitably end up being a nuisance... they are peckers... and they just love to disturb LPS.

It's probably instinct... and you can't train it not to. How? Punish it everytime you catch it nipping your brain corals?

Flame angels are not reef-safe but are less prone than other angels to kill corals.

Hi all,

I think Reb**n selling for $35..for each FA. But then again, quarantine condition is terrible....may not eat well. I think risky..

Cheers !

[vincegoh]

I don't buy from Re**** due to the condition, the shop is subjecting the marine life to, I even saw one full tank of sea apple!

So many dead fishes in the tank...

There is also no quarantine to all the fishes. Don't think I will take the risk to save on a few dollars and risk infecting my existing fishes.

Be a responsible marine hobblist.

Just my opinions...
