Flame and Coral Beauty

[vibbertations]

I've got a decent question. I'm sure I'll get picked on a little after I ask it! It seems like I always find the answer I'm looking for by searching the forums, but I went through about 3 pages and decided to start a new thread to get some advice....
I've got a 75g that has been set up for about a 10 months. Everything seems to be going good. I've got about 100lbs of live rock in the tank and the water stays about right most of the time(I get a little lazy with water changes from time to time).
Currently I have:
2 false clowns
royal gramma
foxface
sailfin tang (I'm just "housing" this guy for a year or so)
six line wrasse
candy coral
patch of red zoos
button polyps
star polyps
MY LFS is gonna add a flame angel and a coral beauty angel to his list of things to order that will come in on Monday. Does anyone see a possible threat of these two fighting with each other in a 75g tank?
I'm aware of the possible nipping of the corals but the foxface never touches them and there are several days where I only feed once a day but since I got the tang, I've been throwing the seaweed clip in about every other day.
Any responses will be greatly appreciated and I love reading all of your posts!

Yes definatly not recomended, you are going to hear of some exceptions, IMO take them with a grain of salt. General rule is no more than one angel per tank.

It's generally advised against, as you know.
Also keep in mind that whether or not your foxface picks at your coral is unlikely to have any bearing on whether or not an angel will.

While it "can" work, it most likely won't. In very large systems, multiple centropyges can be housed together. In a 75, one will be enough.

That is kind of hit or miss - in that size tank with ample rock they would probably get along but there is always the chance that they wont. Then you may also have issue with the six line getting aggressive as well (if they make him feel crowded out) and those guys can get surprisingly mean.

Don't think I would try 2 in a 75, IMO. Not enough room for them to stay out of each others way.

Too risky. My guess is one or both will end up dead.

I'm glad I posted this today so I can go in tomorrow and make sure he doesn't order both just for me........
so now I guess the only question is...........which one should I get?!?!
I really like both of them. My wife is leaning heavily towards the coral beauty but I really like the flame.
She has already said we've got orange in the tank with the clowns, so unless there is an absolute perfect reason to go with a Flame, she will win and I will be stuck with the one!

FLAME ANGLE!!!!!!!!!! i did have a flame, coral beaut, and satin angle in a 75 gallon...but we people in oklahoma lost power for a few days...6 days for me i couldnt keep up with the heat needed for the tank with just the heater going with no pumps but the return pump for about an hour a day and i lost the flame, and coral beaut...was a sad day when the power came back on =( lost 2 of my favorit fish...tank was over crowed i needed to get rid of a few anyhow..thats how ive been looking at it but i wish it would have been i sold them not i killed them =(
but if a price is a facter then the coral beaut...they are pretty fish too but get alittle larger then the flame...

Didnt wana go off topic but didn't want to start a new thread for a comment...I have a small yellow wrasse or coris wrasse. The LFS told me it was reef safe, but I noticed he nips at Star polyps and some Monti SPS..I can't catch the fast devil any advice ? I have a 80 Gal RT with about 20-25 corals and I don't want to ruin my rock setup or risk harming the animals trying to net the yellow wrasse He's only 1-2 inches and fast. Can he do major damage to the star polyp or other corals or its a minor prob ?
