tangs and angels in a reef tank

[fish are good]

would a very small naso tang + blue hippo tang + sailfin tang + and a flame angel work in a 125 gallon reef tank?

The tangs should be ok, always caution with any angel in a reef. I have a potters angel in my 90 reef and he leaves my corals alone.

i would not put a naso in that tank, these fish are massive. it does not matter if it is small now, what will you do when it gets big? sell it? trade it? flush it? release it? not always as easy as you might think. it will likely die from stress before it becomes your problem to remove anyway. JMO on that.
flames are hit or miss reef safe

I have a bicolor angel and he leaves everything alone... he's awesome looking.

I retuned the bicolor angel today. He ate most of my brain coral and some of my frogspawn.... nice little $100 worth of snacks for him. I got my money back and picked up a copperband butterfly instead... he rocks.

well hope you QT the BF, they are fragile, sensitive fish and often come from the LFS with some problems that need to be worked out.

I have a naso & powder blue tang in my 120 bow front. Neither mess with the coral, unless there is a piece of algae on it, in which case they carefully remove it! LOL
