Coral Beauty and Flameback angel

[bobothewizard]

Can these fish be kept in a reef tank with shrimp? And also can they be kept with clowns and a tang?

as long as you don't have corals or polyps. all mobile inverts like shrimps will be ok with these guys. if you are gona try and put these two together make sure you have a 55 or higher with lots of hiding spaces and live rock.

Excellent, great chart by the way. Im a little curious as why guinea said not with corals or polyps, but saltwater fish "claims" they are reef safe. Odd is it not?

cause they'll munch on corals and polyps. saltwater may have them reef safe because they don't touch mobile inverts

These fish are known as reef safe with caution as they may or may not pick on corals. It really depends on the individual fish. My Coral Beauty doesn't mess with any of my corals.

Personally i have never had a problem with any dwarf angel munching on coral and I have had a good number of them. I think its pretty low odds that they do it. Maybe one in ten if that.

Some people do not recommend housing two dwarfs together. I have a coral beauty and a flame angel in the same tank. Like it was stated before, just provide lots of live rock and hiding places and they will be okay. Good Luck! :happyfish :happyfish
