Adding Coral Beauty or Tang

[Dave1993]

My assumption is with a larger tank I can do a tang, but wouldn’t it allow me to also do multiple dwarf angels also? Being that it’s a bigger tank more room for them to avoid each other?

depends on the size + you have 1 of the most aggressive dwarf angels the lemonpeel

personally i don't really like dwarf angels all that much wish i never got my lemonpeel

With larger tanks, 120 and above you can have multiple harems of dwarf angels. In a 320, you can easily have a breeding harem of Flame angels AND a breeding harem of Flameback, which was what I had.
you won’t fine Nuptial picture of a male Flame Angel very often but here is mine. It give another meaning to the name of FLAME angel. Nuptial and normal coloration.

I, on the other hand, will never have a reef tank with some dwarf angels.

This would be for an additional tank, I’m guessing a 125g. That could take 2-3 angels and a tang and not be an issue correct? Just avoid the lemonpeel in that one.

Earlier in my reefing I love large fishes. The longer I keep fish the more I like the behavior aspect of my animals. I strive to have them behave as “in the wild normal” as I can. I can do it with smaller fish but not larger ones.
I cannot have my larger fish spawn in my tank like small and medium size ones.
I just cannot resist fish display in the full glories

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your setup and stocking look like? I love what I see here!

For a 55 I would look at a couple of springeri damsels beautiful blue and one of the least aggressive damsels.

I agree with the coral beauty being harassed, lemons are evil. Saw one in a LFS chasing and biting full grown tangs and other angels! As far as blue fish go there are some damsels that are a vibrant blue! If added last and with bigger fish they shouldnt be too much of a problem. The lemon would probably put it in its place! I had a tang in my 70 for a month while setting up a six foot tank and I would never put a tang in the 70 let alone a 55 not because of size per se but activity!

:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: talks about lemonpeel being evil recommends a damsel lemonpeels aint that bad only to new comers and even then what can they really do they just chase
