I heard Flame Angelfish are not exactly reef safe. I am still planning to add coral and a anemone though. Will the flame angelfish stay away or eat the coral?

I have found that fish are trained that new stuff in the tank you drop in is for them. I think the best outcome would come from corals being in tank, then adding the flame angel.I heard Flame Angelfish are not exactly reef safe. I am still planning to add coral and an anemone though.

Got it! Thank youIt's a gamble. Some don't, some do. All dwarf angels are a potential risk. Getting a captive bred one like from Biota may help, but it's impossible to predict with certainty as it's just a part of their wild diet. Keeping it well fed may also reduce the risk, but there is no surefire method and each fish is individual in its behavior.
Good to know. Thank youI have a coral beauty and a flame angel in my lps heavy tank and both have been model citizens. My previous flame angel used to occasionally pick at my red cap monti, but I didn't mind that.
