    I was wondering if it be ok to have 2 or 3 Dwarf Angels in a tank??? I am thinking a coral beauty and a flame angelfish or maybe add a yellow angelfish as well. My tank is 72 gallons mix reef and I want some color in the tank

    I think there would be some pretty bad aggresion. You would be better off with just picking one.

    Just be careful. I see you have a mixed reef, and there is like a 50/50 chance your dwarf angel will pick on coral.

    Many people say you can't put a flame and a coral beauty together but I have both and they are always together(150 reef). No fighting or issues of any kind. May be different in a smaller tank but dont be affraid to give it a shot. If you really want both. I would add them together if your gonna try though

    a 150 is much bigger than a 72 though, and size of tank can make a huge difference with aggresion IME.

    You can go with a couple anthias or a purple firefish. Colors are great on them.
