Thinking of getting Dwarf Flame Angel

[tang_man_montreal]

Please look at my signature for my current list of livestock...
Would I be able to get a Flame Angel with my setup? Are they Reef safe?
I saw one today, and fell in love with it, it topped my "gotta-have-it" list.
I was told that it's shoot and miss with corals, as he may or may not nip at them.
I need more thoughts on this please.
Thanks!

well they are suppose to be hardy fish i did not have much luck with mine but that was prob because of the yt damsel that went after everything in my tank yes they are hit or mish i have a coral beatuy that killed my elegance coral if it was me i would say no don't risk the corals i am moving my CB to a diff tank in 8 weeks so i can turn my 75 into more reef

Many die for no reason (some unknown reason) in the first 6 months. Past that point they are very hardy. Hit & miss is 100% accurate. They prefer a LOT of live rock to swim around in. One would do better in your tank with 3 - 4 X more rock.

yeah mine was fine for a couple of months, then all of a sudden one morning it was dead. Don't know what happened, it was swimming and eating the night before...??

, I guess that's what I didn't want to hear...
Oh well.. I guess he's moving from my "Gotta-have" list to my "wish-I-could" list..
Thanks guys!

My flame angel has been in the tank for over 3 years, and never a problem. He never picks on any other fish or corals. I think angels need to be judged as individuals, though. I have known people with flames that pick on everything in their tank (fish and corals).
