Reef Safe??

[jden092901]

Hey everyone,
I have a 120 gallon reef. I would like to add something "different" to my tank. I have a small hippo tang and yellow tang right now. I was wondering about the longnose butterfly fish and if there is an angel fish that is reef safe. I have shrimp including harlequin shrimp. I have read different things about each and nothing says the same. Tell me your thoughts or if you know of a fish that is different (body shape like a butterfly).
Thank you,
Joshua

longnose are hit or miss. may nip at some stuff. next to a copperband its one of the better choices to try. I've seen it done. The only larger angels considered reef safe are of the Genicanthus family (swallowtails, lamarks ect). I dont find them nearly as appealing or attractive as traditional angels but many people do. dwarf angels are hit and miss.
