Coral Beauty Angelfish

[SC reefer]

I was wondering your thoughts on this fish and if anybody would post pictures if you have one. Also what are your thoughts on it eating coral? Thanks- Andrew

Had one in my 90 for years before I tore it down. Like any of these type of angels they are hit and miss when it comes to eat coral and I will admit I found chunks missing from some of my acans occsionally but never actually saw him nipping.

Acans are like crack to fish that are prone to nip at corals. So that is a no no to have in a tank with any Angels. I had leathers, mushrooms, and euphyllia and never had a problem with mine.

I had a coral beauty for about four years. It never touched anything, kept it well fed. It was a very beautiful fish, even for a coral beauty. My son left the pumps off all night and it died. Well, anyway, I think it was mentally disabled. It chased it's reflection in the glass constantly. I mean constantly, every minute of every day. Get it.

With mine, fleshy LPS were destroyed, but is pretty good other wise.

Video of it from a couple of years ago,

WOW this one is amazing! Is it ever aggressive to any other of your fish?

Thanks.

Not too bad. It is in my 65 with a Flame angel, multicolor angel, golden algae blenny and a flasher wrasse. All things considered it is pretty mellow.

We haven't had a problem with ours, but he is well fed.

Mine ate all my acans and welsos. Never again for me.

I had a coral beauty nip at my LPS even when it was well fed. Once it caught on that there was food in the corals from time to time it made it a habit to check constantly.... It seems to depend on the individual fish though.

So considering that I have a lot of acans and chalices I'm thinking heck no lol. Thanks for everybody's help!

I will never put one in a reef again, had mine for several years and it was well behaved and very well fed. Then it suddenly turned into a coral terror fish and started eating all lps and sps. Thing was very difficult to catch too.
