I've ordered a watenabie angel from the LFS. Now someone has told me they don't do well in captivity which is opposite of everything I've heard and read. Input please.

Scott Michael, author of the Pocket Expert Guide to Marine Fishes rates them as a 2 for tank suitability...1 being bad..10 being good..
He does so as he says most of them in the aquarium trade suffer from swim bladder damage...healthy ones however, readily acclimate in a peaceful tank.

Yeah. I'm looking for an angel, reef safe, hardy and maybe some color. Choices are limited.
