half black angel fish

[rcreef]

I went to my local store to get some fish some of you may know am starting all over and I see this beutifull half black angel. I ask the guy if it was reef safe and he told me it was but am reading in liveaquariums.com that that its not 100% reef safe that it may eat my zoas any fead back of this fish...

Bro no angel is truly "reef safe". You may get individual fish who don't nip coral but as a rule angels and reefs don't mix.

Pygmy angels are usually safe in my experience. I've had a potter's, coral beauty, flame, flameback, foster's, cherub. No issues.

Of course there's no guarantee, but I think the odds are in your favor.

They are labeled reef safe "with caution" some have good experience with them, some don't. Its up to you to take the risk. Always do research on a fish before buying.

Well when you go to the store and like something but dont know about it the person in the store should be the expert wright. if you ask them is this fish reef safe and they say it is but with caution its one thing but if they tell you it is reef safe then its a whole different story.

It could be reef safe in his experience, like for example if you ask anyone if a blue tang is reef safe, they would say yes. I would say no, 3 that I had have nipped at zoas... every fish is different. They all have different personalities.

All angels are just hit or miss with being reef safe. I just bought a coral beauty and I'm hoping he wont go for any of my coral.

I've had a Coral Beauty and Potters with no issue. However, a recent Goldflake Angel started in and nipped several acans and other corals. When he started looking at my Scoly's like they were his next meal, I had to get rid of him! My current Coral Beauty seems to have no interest in my corals. Like most have said, pygmy or full size, I think it all depends on the fish!

Good luck.
