    Hi I just got home from the LFS with a Bi-Color Angel. I know the risks as I have a Coral Beauty. I just wanted to hear what others have experienced. I have a large tank with alot of caves etc... BTW The Bi-Color is drip acclimating right now

    In a 150 they should be fine....If you have noted where the CB sleeps put the BC in the other end it should be okay

    I have one dwarf in my 85 and its still not big enough. I think he bothers my corals more than anything. Now I cant catch him to put him in my big tank. But a 150 should be good enough for him. But they do have big attitudes. HAHA

    ive got a coral beauty and a flame angel in my 90. coral was in the tank first , and flame came in a few months later. 1st night was bad. coral was chasing the flame all over. so i shut off the lights early, and ever since , theres been peace in my tank. also what i heard , if the flame was in 1st, it would have been alot uglier. also, neither of the angels have done any coral nipping.i know all fish are different and cant really predict anything with them. so rob good luck with your bi-color , and if theres problems at 1st , kill the lights early.

    Thanks. I am about to do the deed now. I have the moonlights on now and the T-5's will come on in 30 min. I am glad to hear that yous are staying away from the corals, My coral beauty doesnt bother them. I hope this guy doesn't either. I keep them pretty well fed.

    Well---Splash down. The only 2 that are bothering him are the Yellow Tang and Powder Brown Tang. The Coral beauty swam up to him and neither did a thing. The Yellow has bothered him so bad he is now in hiding. I have to go to the store so I will be gon a couple of hours. I hung some broccoli and lettuce to keep the Tangs busy. I will report when I get back. I am leaving the main lights on...They will just have to tough it out.:)

    Well been a couple of hours now and the Yellow is keeping him pinned in the corner. I am sure it will pass--been through this before.
