My son wants a coral beauty. Aside from coral munching, I have a few friends that have sumped them for aggression.

I am probably not going to put an angel fish into a reef tank again.
It was very difficult to get the fish out and not worth it.
They sure are very beautiful fish though.

Mines never touched a coral.
He's 6 or 7 can't remember.
He's in a 75 with a picasso trigger and yellow tang. He's the boss and the trigger outweighs him by 100 pounds.
I think if I put him in last he might have been better but I don't know he's just plain nasty.

Andrew has a neon damsel and 2 clowns. The damsel is honestly a big baby, but I am concerned about his attitude in a bigger tank. I plan to add him last.

Good idea.
I always think adding the meanest fish last is best but I've gotten in trouble before when all of them were mean.
I added my trigger last on purpose but he's such a wuss it's ridiculous.
Just never know.

Most of the fish in my 90 are all nice. I had one mean damsel but he jumped out of the tank and found him dead one morning on the floor.

How big does the Pygmy angel get? Can he stay in the 10 gallon?

Not big but no. I wouldn't keep him in anything under a 50.

Ok then I should get him out soon. What do you think about a pair of clowns in a 10 gallon?

I had mine in a 10 for a year by herself.
I gave her a 20 the tank you see on here (my little one) cuz I thought the 10 is way too small.
So long answer short maybe 1 only.
Nothing else.
They get mean too.

OK. I will find the Pygmy a new home.
Good night.
Talk tomorrow.

What type of tank are you running? I would love to see what your tank looks like.
Good morning @Reef Devils , you all stay up much later than me! If you click on the badge “My tank Thread” you will see my tank build. I am running a 32g BioCube and all of the details are in my tank thread. As stated, 10g is way to small for an angel but your 90g would be fine.

Wow!
Very nice.
 
Good morning y'all. It's snowing again here and the mail hasn't delivered in days. I was really hoping to play with rock, but the epoxy stick I ordered isn't here. I also want a 30"x30" piece of foam as a template for the tank so I can get a real 3D mock up.

When you do that can you please get some pics. I'd love to see that. Never done anything like that before.
