This is a hard one but I’m going French, the male masked swallowtails are nice but the French has such a nice colour pallet that makes them stand out.
 
Another one for French!
 
This is hard!! The colors on the Masked Shallowtail are gorgeous but the shape and contrast of colors on the French are so beautiful too. Going with the French on this one!
 
That’s actually a really good point! You can have a Masked in a reef but not a French!
You can have a French angel in a reef but they are heavily restricting with coral.
 
Out of curiosity, what coral won't a French angel usually eat?
A lot of your Euphyllia and Fymbriaphyllia are left alone as they have a potent sting. Some softies can also be kept with them from what I remember.

Okay, I’ve never owned one, and LiveAquaria lists them as not reef safe, so I just assumed that meant for all coral. It’s good to know that their fine with a few types!

This is hard but I break for the Masked Swallowtail.
 
I’m with the masked swallowtail. Reason is I have never seen one.
 
This one is close! Will the Masked be able to hold on and upset the French? Only time will tell! Which one do you prefer?
