https://www.liveaquaria.com/product...ish is prone,, filamentous algae, and diatoms.

So we know what I am talking about, I know how big it can get and I am looking at a juvenile about 1 1/2".
My display is only about 125 G but it is a custom low with loads of rock and algae.
Issue one is a flame angel, my hope is that it's different enough to not matter and it is smaller than my flame?
Issue two, in your experience are they coral munchers, I already have a couple and am adapting my coral stocking to suit?

Thanks in advance. :)
 
This happens to me on facebook as well, I ask a reasonable question and nobody replies, is it because I have a squillion numbers that show, I will pick this up tomorrow unless someone says no?!
 
I can't be much help but have started researching "fringe" fish/benthic feeders in mixed reefs. So far one thing I see in common is getting them small helps maximize the chances of success. Coral choice is the other...
 
Pretty fish, why not give it a try?

Either you rehome if it’s a trouble maker, re-home when gets full size or it’s an excuse for a bigger tank in a couple years.;)

It is still in juvi colours and they have it in a coral tray. :)
 
In time , he will dissect your coral and sponge as a food source. I recommend for fish only or fish only with live rock
 
Closer to not reef safe than with caution. I’d pass for a reef tank.
