Definitely don't have the room for any Tangs or Foxfaces in the 50.3! hah

I'm not too familiar with Blennies - I know of the Lawnmower Blenny but I don't know if I'd have enough algae to keep them well fed.

I believe most of the beneficial parasite eating Wrasses are too big for my tank as well, minus the Six Line.
Tomini tang, starry blenny, tailspot blenny, red-lined wrasse and leopard wrasse to name a few.
 
My flame angel likes acans so i dont have acans. But IMO i would rather have better utilitarian fish then an angel or mandarins but you do you.
I think the utility of the Flame Angel is his incredible bright looks. I never keep a reef without Flame angels

These dudes are worse than flame angels and he only nips. Def acans are on the menu but for the most part if well fed he just nips . I would say keep it.
 
Alright well I think I've been thoroughly convinced to keep my Flame Angel.

Thanks everyone! It was great to get a wide range of opinions on this dilemma.
