Cherub Pygmy Angelfish, anyone keeping them?

FamilyMan_4 · Aug 15, 2020

I have been trying to narrow down a livestock list for my tank, and another member on here mentioned the Cherub Pygmy Angelfish.
I did some reading on them, and most livestock sites mention that 'It may nip at large-polyped stony corals and clam mantles'
This seems to be almost the same copy and paste information given on all angelfish descriptions.
BUT every member's mention of this fish on forums I have read says they didn't have any nipping issues with this fish.

My question is,
Is it more of a 'its an angelfish, so its prone to angelfish issues' that these livestock sites mention this, or is it a real concern with these pygmy angels?

What are everyones actual experiences with these fish?

I never had mine eat coral. I think its just a general statement that no angelfish will be 100% guaranteed to not eat coral but that does not mean that it is likely.

I kept one in a BC29 lps dominant tank and never had any issues. This is on the small size of tank for this fish and I never had aggression issues either. He was there for 3 years and was likely mature, i gave him up when I combined my nano's into a larger predator reef. He was a very beautiful, active, and entertaining fish. They love to zoom through the rocks.
