Would a copperband angel work in a horse tank to help keep the aipstasia down?
Or would the angel be to stressful for the horse?

Angel's usually aren't good choices with Seahorses. It would all depend upon the size of the tank first off and the temperment of the angel. If it were me, in a smaller set up I wouldn't try it. And remember, I am the guy that kept a yellow tang with his horses.

90, possibly, but Angel is one fish you might want to have a second home for prepared just in case he needs to come out.

CB Butterfly, which I've heard can be rather picky.
