    I have a 46 bow and I have a oscellaris clown, fairy wrasse, and a bi-colored blenny. Can I add a Flame Angel to this. I have a full reef with some softies, lps, sps. Would he pick at the Elegance Coral or my Ricordea Yuma?

    We had a flame angle in our 75 gallon reef setup. That setup had no SPS, and it seemed to get along well enough with the other fish and CUC. I believe that you'll find the Flame Angle listed as a caution with any reef setup...so, nipping at the corals...a strong possibility...

    my opinion Adam
    is your ricordia and elegance may be safe but other corals Im not so sure
    I have had a flame that liked Zoanthids and finger leather corals, but I never saw him bother any LPS or shrooms
