    I hate coral beauties, they photo really well but in person I cant stand their color, plus the LFS owner here told me he's always had more issues with them than any other dwarf, just that the selection in this town SUCKS and I've had crappy luck with mail ordering fish the last one I ordered killed everything in my tank pretty much from it's ich outbreak
    I may try a flame angel, or I may just wait and see what else pops up locally but they do have a red mandarin that I'm going to get if someone else hasnt bought it yet for sure

    had a lemonpeel and it was fine at first but within a month or 2, took out most star polyps and even killed my brain coral within a few days so it had to go. I have had luck with flame angels but like any dwarf, there is a chance when certain coral is present

    I went with a midas blenny for now, going to probably look at adding an achilles tang in the next couple of months as my centerpiece fish

    I have a mimic tang in my 110, very nice fish. I think they are just as impressive in the adult colors.

    I'll ask my LFS owner about getting one for me after looking at the pics the mimic is a pretty cool fish

    my lemonpeel has stayed clear of my zoas and xenia...so far. i also like the glow in the dark eye shadow under blue lights.
