I have a Coral Beauty that is kind of an anus. Bullies some of the smaller fish, nothing terrible, but definitely shows aggression to my juvi Heni and Royal Gramma. I have a 125g aquarium with enough LR to have their spots. I wanted to add Flagfin Angel, but I am a bit nervous about that CB killing it. I previously had Red Strip and Flame, they were fine, with some aggression when they ran into each other, but I am not a fan of unnecessary stress in the tank.

Idk ur budget but if ur gonna go w that species check out the gold flake angel. Captive bred now as well.
Beautiful fish, I can afford it, but honestly, I have a hard time justifying paying that much for a fish considering how much can go wrong with it.

If u get it sourced captive bred, u could just put it in for some observation and help it settle. If things develop treat it cooper prazi etc Also some full Qt vendors out there.

If you want a Goldflake, your best bet is sourcing a CB one when Biota has them. DO ask them to send you photos and videos of the specimens, because Bali Aquarich passes off Flagfin x Goldflake hybrids as pure Goldflake Angels. And I don’t like the hybrid at all, it looks like an awkward compromise between the two species. Your best bet is to find one that looks like this (picture attached):

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
