Does anyone have one in a reef aquarium that does eat the corals? Trying to decide if I want to buy one. I do not have any coral now, but I will eventually have coral in my aquarium

I'm not sure if the common name Blue angelfish in the US describes the same fish as in the UK.

In the UK it is the common name for the Holacanthus bermudensis, and they are not coral safe.

Yea that’s the one I’m talking about. I have a LFS wanting to get rid of one I could get him for $20. They told me they were “with cation” and I looked up live aquaria and it said the same. But you always have to do you due diligence.
