    haha...cause they are gorgeous. I saw +1 for the bsjf. Great fish with tons of personality. Just a couple of questions which I am sure you already know. How deep is your sand bed? Do you have a cover?

    Hmm, out of the smaller angels the only ones i can see that are even semi reef safe are Pygmy Angel's. I've seen them on a few reef sites that sell corals mainly and they consider them reef safe. but most of the other sites I see say to use with caution and that they are one of the safer angels for smaller systems.

    I see them many times for around 90 dollars. I still like them, but not that much either.

    not all angels grow to 8'.. for example the flames angel fish only 4', ( pretty awesome) and i dont think the coral beauty gets that big either.
