Experience w Captive Bred Dwarf Angles? "More" reef safe?

[cdw79]

I've been toying with the idea of trying a dwarf angel in my 65 mixed reef. I can't seem to find many experiences as far as how risky this would be, specifically as to whether a captive bred fish would be "safer" than a wild specimen, and to what extent. Curious for opinions on this, especially from folks who have kept a captive bred dward angel, successfully or not. Just don't want my rainbow can colony gone when I get back from work one day!

Captive bred and wild caught specimens are most likely as risky as eachother. The reason for this is captive breeding doesn’t get rid of the wild diet (Eating sponges, which do seem to grow on the skeletons of LPS) it just adds to the diet we can get them onto.
