    Really love the look of the coral beauty but have been confused a bit about both possible aggression and/or soft coral safety..

    Any thoughts from the crowd on keeping a coral beauty with the following..

    Flame angel
    purple firefish
    b&w clown
    6 line wrasse
    yellow/banana wrasse
    blood shrimp

    kenya tree coral
    leathers
    zoanthids

    (still learning the names of the coral I have so bare with me.)

    angels

    coral beauty & flame angel i thiink would be a bad move 2 angels in the same family( dwarf) might be a problem. fighting would probably get bad, i have a coral beauty in my tank and he has been well behaved.

    Hey Zoban

    coral beauties and majority of dwarf angel fish are reef safe with caution

    many do behave well with corals, whilst other will occasionally peck at corals

    Zoanthids are in fact typically one of the corals , that these fish will peck at
    as some dwarf angels develop a particular taste for certain corals and leave others alone

    there are many success stories with the species you mention
    with members of this site keeping them in reefs with no issues at all

    so more likely to be an issue with the flame angel then the corals if I understand it right.

    hmm.. guess the 46 is gonna have to shift from fresh to salt sooner then later.

    Thanks guys I appreciate the quick replies.
