    I am interested in adding this fish to a reef. My tank is fairly young 2 1/2 months so i will probably add the fish later on. Has anybody been able to successfully keep this fish with softies, lps, sps, and clames? And basically any experiences you guys have with this fish, good or bad.

    Mine was beautiful and very active. Ate like a pig. Unfortunately, I lost it in a heater malfunction.

    It did however nip at my SPS. I ate my birdsnest and digitatas to death. Everything else just fine.

    picky eaters i am used to, my puffer has been picky since day one and eats frozen bloodworms, and when he was younger i was able to get him to eat dried plankton, then he just stopped eating and took to the bloodworms and refuses to eat anything else. So i may be willing to try a picky angel

    seems according to my book, certain angels like to nip at different corals and such... maybe find out what corals you dont want and place an angel that likes only those?

    They are really pretty! My LFS guy said they are pretty mean, but everyone has different experiences.

    yea that's another worry. i know my clowns would be able to stand up for themselves, but i don't think the wrasse would be able to, as it's one of the more passive wrasse breeds.
