I'm definitely looking to getting another cb angel!!

Just got a CB yesterday for my 35gal and is doing great, started eating the second I fed it, it hasnt really picked at the corals, every once in a while it'll take a nip but its no big deal.

I'm looking for a flame angel myself (because of the color) to finish my stocking (90 gal). I have posted a thread not too long ago about behavior and colors and got some good feedbacks. Do a search "flame angel".
I worry about the possibility of coral nipping (I'm just starting on the soft side). I'm also concern about the natural shyness of the flame angel.
Your input pls.

I always loved flames but I bought a coral beauty because she was $30 cheaper. I still have her and I love her, she's my favorite fish.

I've had both. Unfortunatelly my CB died due to an ich outbreak in the tank. It was a great community fish and left all my coral alone.
I then got a flame. So far, it has also been a great community fish and has left all my coral alone.
IMO its just a matter of basically which color scheme you like. The CB will be cheaper, both have been super fish for me.
In either case, just make sure you have a bunch of lr and keep them well fed and they shouldn't bother your coral. Both definately liked to forrage (sp?) on lr constantly. I would also recommend supplementing with algae sheets. My flame likes red algae, my CB liked green. Good luck it is a tough decision to make. Let everyone know what you decide on. :happyfish
