flames and beauties?

snagged by reef · 09/01/2007, 08:29 AM

hey guys & gals,

would like info on coral beauties and flame angels. my foxface just bit it in a detrimental way. he got caught to the intake and couldnt get off. i woke up this morning and there he was sucked to the intake. anyhow, i wasnt too fond of this guy anyway, he was a mean dude. so, ive always liked flames and beauties but i do have a reef with everything from zoas to acros. are these angels coral safe and feather duster safe? though it seems that flames are a bit on the expensive side lately. must be getting popular or just not the right season. any info will help.

thanks all!!!

Both of those are the safest gambles as far as angels go, but still a gamble as to wheather they nip at corals.

I've had better luck with flames than with coral beauties, plus beauties hide too much.

Flames are my favorite dwarf angel but I would be hesitant to put it in a tank with any type of polyps. IMO tank size and feeding frequency affects that behavior.
