Potters vs flame angel

[slythy]

I’m looking at one of these for my 70g reef. Its mostly euphilia and sps. I have a cleaner shrimp and blood shrimp and dont want those killed. I have 2 clowns, pink streak wrasse, a one spot fox face and a white tail tang. I feed multiple times a day and cant keep nitrates high enough so adding another fish. There is tons of hiding spots and not worried about that.

I dont know much about potters but my wife likes the looks better than flame angel but I love flame angels bright colors.

Potters are unfortunately not available in the hobby unless you get one from a tank break down.

Soon, here is an extract from the reef builders article on the Hawaii fish ban lift…

“Only Yellow tangs, Kole tangs, Orangespine unicornfish, Potter’s angelfish, Brown surgeonfish, Thompson’s surgeonfish, Black surgeonfish, and Bird wrasse would be allowed to be collected, under the new plan.”

The downside is, when will that ban lift actually happen?
We’ve been waiting for a ban lift for the past yearish…

I have a flame angel in my 130 and as soon as I can find a reasonably priced Potters I will add it to my tank and pray they can coexist.
I love them both!!!
I had a Potter's many years ago and when I got back into the hobby I swore that I would have one again.
Two of my favorite fish!!!

I’ve kept both at the same time and am waiting for the ban to be lifted to add another Potter’s to my current Flame and Multicolor.

They pose no threat to inverts and I’ve had a good track record with dwarves and corals, though, anecdotally, I think there are more reports of Flames picking at meaty LPS and clams.
