    Thats much easier to say when it's not your life at risk.;)What??Replicating the oceans ecosystem in a small glass box isn't risky enough for you??;D Limiting risks is one of the most important aspects of this hobby. It can also be the difference in you becoming a long term responsible reefer instead of a frustrated ex-aquarist.;)

    Haha!^ I'm so split!!!! I wish there was a fish with the same kinda flat body shape as the angel. What about a black and white(bicolor) chromis? LA says they do good alone.

    I attempted to trap my Gramma for a few days and it was useless.... I thought he had Ick or something. I let time run its course and he is all good to go.... I did the soda bottle trap and I caught everyone but him. :-/

    I have a small cherub angel in my nano and has not touched any of my corals, yet. Don't know if he ever will, but that's just the chance you have to take if you want a dwarf angel and corals in the same tank.

    He's a quick little guy who loves finding any little crevice he can swim through in my rock work. If I ever had to catch him for some reason, it would be nearly impossible. I would have to tear the tank down. Take that into consideration too, as others have mentioned.

    Exactly what I was saying- In My Own Personal Experience...

    I've had dwarf angels in a number of mixed reef tanks for years, including 3 species in a 55g, with no issues. However, I kept them well-fed with a proper, varied diet- a high-quality frozen angel mix that included marine sponge and kelp, along with frozen clam, squid and krill.

    ill probably alternate between angel food, mysis, and silversides.
