blue face angel

[flamehawk]

I'm thinking about buying a blue face angel for my 55g tank. It currently houses a bi-color dwarf and a yellow strpped maroon clown. It has 28 lbs of live rock, shortly to be increased to 40lbs., a whisper 3, and a sea clone skimmer. also about 2-3 inchesof crushed coral. Anyone have an experiences with blue face angels? Hardy? Agressive? durable? worth it? They are a bit on the expensive side and want to make sure I'm doing the right thing before investing.

You can't keep it in a 55 for a long time,but if you bought a small one you could keep it for a while. They can be hardy if you get one that didn't come from the phillipines,and make sure it is eating before you take it home.

Bluefaces are not hardy at all. They should be left to the experts with big tanks. 55s are to small for angels(besides dwarfs), unless you are upgarding to a 150 gal. +.
