Not really
and more importantly:
YOU'RE TANK IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR ANY OF THE LARGER ANGELS. IT IS REALLY ONLY SUITED FOR 1 DWARF ANGELFISH.
Dude!! you need to relax some man. First off, he is asking questions about fish going into his tank, no need to get in his junk for it. Secondly, he is not putting in full grown fish. They are not going to grow over night. As a matter of fact its going to take some time for them to reach maximum size. Now, you can answer his question with this in mind!!! Pour Monitor if you ask me dude.......you should be more polite, they are seeking help, not a shouting match.

Man, you really have a thing for this guy don't you........There are steps to this dying man....Wholly crap!!! They will more than likely not open up for a time. If they keep getting picked on they will start to shrivel up, then a slow death ensues. Its not a pretty sight.

No, but a little research would be nice.

He's been told by numerous people besides me that his tank is not large enough for these fish and refuses to listen or do any research on these fish.
IMO, a juvenile large angel still doesn't belong in a 70G tank.

You are correct........If it was an adult Angel. Not a juvi which is only 3 or 4". He can always sell it as it gets to big for his tank and make some money for the next purchase. =)

I'm not a fan of even putting a juvenile in a small tank, especially when there is no long term plan. Have you ever tried to catch a fish after it's been your tank for a few years? It almost never ends well, so I usually suggest to only purchase fish that can remain in your system long term.
Yes, I do help people, but when you're being told something over and over and over by numerous people and disregard it because it's not what you want to here, that isn't research.
Yes, you got the LemonPeel, but you completely disregarded the fact that they need a mature tank with mature live rock.

No worries. This is pretty easy stuff. you can basically keep anything you want in a 70g tank, but.....Here is the catch, the fish do grow, some if not most will outgrow yours. If you are readly to sell them as they get bigger, you are not going to have any issues. Pretty simple really.

Interesting thing that this Lemon Peel is very energetic and actually nips at rocks, glass, snail shells, water blowers...

Yes, they eat algae (even algae that you can't see there) and are grazers. He should be doing this, ALL DAY. This is why they really need mature tanks with mature live rock, because they are grazers.

IMO they're one of the tougher LPS corals out there and I definitely wouldn't recommend one in a new tank or to a beginner.

Check out ManhattanReefs.com. They're a little rough to new comers sometimes and it is a very "clicky" site, BUT you can get really good deals on stuff locally that people are selling. I've saved a ton of money purchasing things from that site. I have the same username over there as well, just don't go on too much.
