    lol yes, i am very picky, but i have to be because i can only have a couple of fish in my tank, and i want to make sure im happy with my decisions. But when i get corals i can have whatever i want so i won't be as picky with those :D

    I think you are very safe with a bicolor. The only time you will have an issue is if its very hungry. I have never seen a coral beauty or bi color attack corals. I personally dont like the smaller angely but they are active and have good personality. I got my blue spot for 15bucks from craigslist from someone that thought it was a watchman and if it was not for that I would be mad that I dont see it. Keep in mind I have 380 plus of lr in a 220 so there are alot of places to hide but I never se this thing.

    i posted a thread for the bicolor, so i'm hoping other people will add in their experience, as i might be willing to give it a go and try it. You got an awesome deal on the blue spot. Knowing that you have a 220 do you notice any aggression issues with it? I think my choices right now are between the blue spot and the bicolor :)

    The goby is not very active so if your planning on watching it then I would get the bi color. The angel is a ver actice fish and is for the most part reef safe. Why not get a tang ot some other type of active fish that is active and wont touch corals? there are so many fish. I have the 220 that is a reef tank with corals. then there is the 150 that is my sons which is a whatever tank with no coral, then the red sea max that had been a reef tank that now has an eel and a puffer and no corals haha.

    lots of tanks :D i would love a tang but my tank is to small, so that's why i thought of the angel idea. but i don't know just seems to risky for a first reef
