    He is sooooo correct. Gorgeous fish. I love the look of both the flame angel and the coral beauty. If I had a choice, I would choose the FA. At one point I had both in my tank. They fought. The CB won. The FA died.

    And my CB didn't start out liking corals. Some, like mine, just get a taste for certain corals later on in life. Mine likes zoas and my mushroom leather. And my finger leather. And the gorgonian. I had to move the gorgonian to the nano. I dislike that fish.

    ive got both the falme and coral together. 1st night ugly. since then , theyve struck a harmonious balance. no problems with them gettin along , or coral nipping. as mentioned before, never know what you might get in fish tempermant.

    I think I would have put the CB in the nano! :lol: It could be a like a species only tank......just a little small maybe. Or, buy another tank for the CB! You want more tanks, right? I'd have a fit if something started messing with my corals.....and if anything touched the dendro. :angry:

    Like John said... you never know..

    I like the CB.. Beautiful Color.. Mine eats good, pellets, etc.. My Sailfin Tang ate 1/2 a large frag of
    Blue Snowflakes one night.. I moved them, and no more problems..
    So you can never tell..

    If you have to have one.. Ask at the LFS what it's eating, how it eats, etc..
    Keep it well few.. And watch.. LOL

    Good Luck, Larry

    I"ve been having good luck with the midnight angel. very pretty fish, and he doesn't touch my coral at all.

    YEs, they can all be individuals. But like John said, many start out great then turn down hill. Happened with my singapore. Didn't touch anything for a while, then developed a taste for clams and SPS. It is now bye bye.
    Then I have the Hippo Tang. Has developed a taste for Kenya tree. About once a month it shreds it. Hippo would be staying if it comes down to it ;)
