    Ok..it is getting really hard to resist the urge to get an angel. They are SO cool!!

    I have a 30 gallon reef though, with quite a bit of coral and i plan on adding alot more Lps. So, which angel is the least likely to nip? Im really interested in the lemonpeel, flame, and the cherub.

    Thanks!!

    I don't think you can have any Angelfish on 30 gallon, as per I know they need at least 75 gallon +

    I am aware of that, still 30 gallon may not be enough.

    Generally dwarf angels are perfectly suited for 30g aquariums.

    Following.

    I would look into cherub angels. Some regard them as reef safe.

    Interesting. I have always thought 30 was enough!

    Regardless, do you know which is the best for a reef? Im still curious even if i cant have an angel

    I had a Lemonpeel for a little over a month (before he died :() and he generally behaved well. :) Just remember that they can start eating corals even if they don't to begin with.

    Aww man!! Howd it die? Are angels pretty tough to keep?

    Yeah, thats the sucky part! All of a sudden you might have to choose between the angel or the reef
