If you like flame angels, toss it in the tank see how he goes.
If he adapts then great, if not send him back to the LFS or release him into the ocean.
Don't sweat these decisions, it is your tank, it's your money and it's your time.
Alot of these "amatuer saltwater scientists" want to dictate the how, why, when and where everyone should set up their tanks.
I have spent hundreds of dollars on my tank, right here on SWF.com and making mistakes and losing fish is all part of the hobby.
I do not see people complaining about the dead fish in the supermarket.
Good luck with your Flame Angel and let us know how he did and whether he survived the first month.

yeah umm mixing salt water in your tank is the most ingenius idea i have ever read! Werent you the one posting about a NEMO TANK? Its funny that everything you post about you put in caps, when you know these are heated topics on the board. How about this, go bug people elsewhere. Your antagonizing comments arent wanted on the board..well at least to me. Go sell crazy some place else, were all full here.

FYI spearfish. I have yet to meet a petstore owner who likes to recieve sold goods back. If you don't feel you can take care of any animal purchased, don't buy it.
As for the flame. Mine loves lettuce as a supplement for algae. Though feeding dark greens is better than those such as iceberg lettuce that have no nutritional value. try romain or spinach. Also I might waite a few months before putting the flame in just to let some algae get established. And again go for the smallest one you can find, they are very active swimmers.

If someone posts a message after mine, I'm going to personally drive to your house and take a huge dump in your aquarium and watch all your fish die from the huge ammonia spike. And trust me I''m from Texas and these Mexicans can make one hellova mean burrito.

seriously guys, he is right, tap water and table salt(i hear) is best for an aquarium. and if you cannot get table salt any salt substitue should be fine
NOT, do not use either in your tank, PLEASE. Tap water can work(at best, it can but not the best AND most of the time it can be detrimental), but 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time it has impurities of some type in ther that should not be in a sw tank, at all.
and just a disclaimer there, table salt would be a very bad idea. That is one that will NOT work, or even get by at all.
