pygmy angels?

[gilpil]

My current livestock in a 55g:
1 green chromis
1 4 striped damsel
1 yellow tang
1 cc starfish
1 coral banded shrimp
5 mexican turbo snails
10 hermit crabs
Going to the out of town fish store tomorrow and was looking at getting a BTA and maybe a Coral Angel Beauty or a flame angel. Has anyone had experience with either of these two angels, and would they go good with my current livestock??? My yellow tang is a little agressive to new comers. Please tell me all you can about these angels. Thanks in advance. :jumping:

cc stars are known to eat anemone

I know, it seems like owners of cc starfish are about 50/50 on whether they eat anenomes, so I may take my chances, i am not sure. Thanks for the input though. Has anyone had experience with these angels though???

flames can tend to hold their own, not sure about the coral beauties.

I've had both and the coral beauty is a little hardier but not as nice looking but they cost less. Depends on the flame Angels I;ve had three of them and they have all died of ick.

I have had a coral beauty for about 1.5 years and it is doing great. It stayed pretty small, about 3 inches. It lives with smaller fish and is nonaggressive. I have mushrooms, polyps, brain coral, anemones, gorgonians, etc and so far so good. I dont have glass anemones anymore so it is possible that he eats those but I cant be sure.
All in all, great fish.

I was able to keep both the flame angel and coral beauty in with a yellow tang. The tang never bothered them. The flame is a lot brighter in color unless your looking to add some purple then the obvious one would be the coral beauty.
