I was just 'gifted' with a juvenile Koran angel. He's been in a mixed reef for about a month and hasn't nipped at anything, so I agreed to take him (at least for a little while).
He's not too big - maybe 2.5" or so - but I have 0 experience with angels outside of coral beauties.
How long before I need to find him a new home? Should I start looking immediately? He's quite pretty to look at, and if he's not nipping at my clam or corals, I don't mind keeping him for a few months.
I know these guys get huge, and it's not a matter of if he'll start chowing down, but when, so my question is how quickly do they grow, and at what point would it be stressful to be in a 40g tank?
Oh, and if it's relevant, the only fish I have in the tank currently are a leopard wrasse, a pair of true percs, and a little clown goby. It's mostly LPS and softies, but I do have some SPS, and a large squamosa clam.
