Flame Angel help

[hippo!]

I was planning on adding a flame to my 75, but have been told it will likely chew on my corals etc.?
If so, is there a similar looking fish that would be ok to add...:notsure:
How about the coral beauty? any problems with it?

I had a Flame Angel that ate my corals.
I know they look awesome but I don't recomend them for reefs. Not sure what else to recomend though, sry.

Pygmy Angels are generally a 50/50 shot when it comes to nipping corals. Some have a better track record than others though. I know of a few people here that have FA in their reef tank, NM Reef has one.

no problems with my flame angel in my 55 reef. The odd nip at my open brain, thats about it.

yes, coral buety is a really nice fish. Ive had mine in my 75 reef for almost a year now and is perfectly fine. They are hardy which is good he ate the most food out of alll of my fishes in the first they i brought him. great addition to any tank and fun to whach really active.
