Flagging Angel, I didn't see the auto correct till after the post.

Two of my lfs have received in some healthy flagfin angels. Has anyone experienced any issues introducing them into a full reef tank? I have a mix of Zoos/palys, mushrooms and lps. I care way more about my corals than fish so if it's going to be an issue I won't even attempt it as I'm growing out some higher end mushrooms and micromussas.

While I havent personally kept one, their wild diet is sponges, algae, etc. So it could be safe, could also eat all your zoas. Personally I would not do it, it probably wont touch your shrooms, might eat your acans though

That's what I'm worried about plus I have some killer blue sponge that's literally glueing the micro rock to another rock so the temptations could be too much. I love the look of these flagfins since they are the same family as the gold dust but, I don't think it would be worth the trouble of catching a problem child in a 220.
