    hello all i'm debating whether to go with a Lemonpeel angel or a Singapore angel. I'm really liking the looks of the Singapore angel, but the Lemonpeel is nice too... so it all comes down to which is a hardier fish? and which is easier to keep? i read that the Singapore angel is one of the calmest angels and does need places to hide if there are aggressive fish in the tank. there are plenty of hiding places and the most aggressive is the watchman goby when he's protecting the shrimp :D oh and the lemonpeel up here in BC is $44 and the singapore is only $20...

    Is this going in a FOWLR or a reef?

    reef... i have a finger leather, colony polyp, and a few of those brown tree corals... the bicolor just nipped away at the live rock, didn't touch the coral too much, although the finger leather did look like it had been nibbled a bit... i'm speaking in past tense about the bicolor cause he died a couple days ago, had some kind of parasite...

    ya i know... i'm just a bit limited in terms of nice looking fish in my smaller 46 gallon tank... worse case scenario if it starts eating my corals too much i'll get rid of him...
