    I saw a female Lyretail Angel last night and fell in love! Liveaquaria said that it is one of the few angels that is reef safe. Anyone have any experience? I would like to put it on my stock list for the new 220.

    swallowtail angel or lamarck's angel? both are considered to be your best shot at a reef safe large angel, however there are never any gaurantees. We get them in at the LFS every now and then and they are usually very calm and leave other fish alone. the customers that buy them all say they dont pick.
