    Has anyone heard of fish stores getting in pairs of these angels or could they be put together? Ive seen pairs online. And also do they attack your coral. I was just interested thinking about gettin one.;D

    Don't know about the pairs, personally, I have never seen a pair together in a lfs. They do get mean though and being angels, may nip at corals and inverts.

    Our cherub angel (AKA pygmy angel) has been great so far. I've had the angel for about a month now, and so far, no coral eating. I was a little worried about her at first - she was getting harrassed by my female clown and the six-line wrasse and her tail was pretty chewed up. Anything I add to the tank seems to get a tail chewing - kind of like an initiation, I guess. She's doing fine, her tail grew back, and nobody messes with her now. Beautiful fish!

    I've never seen a pair together in a LFS either, so I don't know about that part of your question.

    Mine is about 1.5". No problems with corals as of yet (2 months). I have a bi-color that keeps him in check, so no aggression either.
