Flame Angel

What do you think of adding to 100 gal reef with yellow tang already in tank?

I wouldn't, had one for six months that was well fed and never touched a coral...then over night crushed hundreds of dollars of lps

 

[carlparks]

I want to add some vibrant color but not loose my coral...

purple tang, flasher wrasses

 

[carlparks]

Mmmm purple tang :) and he would b OK with the yellow tang already there

I've had flame angels over the years in my mixed reef tanks and never had a problem with them.
I know that they nip at many things and as long as they move on and don't come back to the same spot nothing is harmed.
I just had to euthanize my flame that I've had 8-9 years. It never bothered softies or lps.
I probably wouldn't trust any with clams.

Did your flame get sick?

Did your flame get sick?

In the process of taking my old leaking tank down and moving the fish to a smaller temporary tank one of his eyes was damaged.
Within a day the other fish attacked it and he lost the eye and part of his forehead.

Sad.... But that is nature taking care of the weakest

I actually just took my Flame out yesterday....he is sadly going back to the fish store. He was fine for several months than started nipping my Trachyphyllia. It got to the point where it wouldn't even open anymore. I have had 4 different species of dwarf angels and that is the only one that has caused me any issues.

I guess I'll just have to get a fish only tank next so I can get some of those option off limits...darn the bad luck...lol

I a 100 gallon system it might be a hard addition but could be done especially if ur yellow isnt the dominant fish in the tank
