Does anyone here have experience with this fish? LiveAquaria states that it is one of the only reef safe angels and are easy to care for. What has been your experience??

Nifty. I have to replan my livestock list, since it has thinned out considerably in my tank :(

Great fish. I've had mine almost 2 yrs now. It doesn't touch any of my corals.

Thanks for the photo Capt! Nice looking fish! I think I will add that one to my list. Are they fairly hardy?

If you want, look into a Bellus Angel (female is blue, black, white and a tint of red) they are reef safe and like to pick at algae! I can post a pic if you would like!:mrgreen:

I think my restocking list (assuming I don't lose any of my remaining 3 fish-Hippo Tang, pair of Ocellaris clowns) will include the following:

Lamarcks Angel
Sailfin Tang
Lieutenant Tang
A trio of Lyretail Anthias
Decorated Rabbitfish
Railway Goby
pair of Sexy Shrimp


Thoughts anyone? Any other suggestions?

I like Purple Tangs as they have great color.

I read that purples are more aggressive. I don't want it to murder my hippo..../

I suggest staying away from the Yellow Eye Tang, they can be very aggressive, I had one!

Calmest and most shy Tang I ever had. Every fish is different

Good for you guys, my Yellow Eye ruled the tank! As you say each fish is different!

Add them most peaceful to most aggressive. I'd personally go goby/anthias - rabbitfish - angel - tangs.
