Hi everyone!!
I have a 29 gallon mixed reef with a clownfish and a Pygmy angle. The clown hangs out in his nem all day and is only aggressive if the Pygmy angle gets to close. The Pygmy angle is a sweetie pie and she wouldn't hurt a thing :p

As long as there are caves or holes for the firefish to dart into and you have a nice tight lid on the tank, shouldn't be in issue I wouldn't think.

I had a firefish before that was really happy until he went carpet surfing. I have gotten a lid since then. Thank you!!

Keep in mind, your going to be adding a wild caught, normally peaceful fish into the tank with semi-aggressive fish. I wouldn't worry too much for the others, but they will get curious and likely spook the firefish from the start. IF it were me, i would try to add the fish when lights are off.

Thank you for the suggestion!!
 
A firefish should be fine, but could be intimidated or bullied by the angel.
