pygmy angel question

dougers31 · Feb 3, 2011

Just wondering if there are a few of the pygmies that are more often than not reef safe. I know its usually hit and miss but I would think that some of them would be better than others...

Joculatores are one that are amazing and kept by a few reefers on here but they come with a nice price tag.

Cherub angel is a good choice. I've got one in a full mixed reef and its never touched a thing

flamesbacks / centropyge acanthops are great my last one lived almost 10ys. never touched a thing, cherubs are cool and much cheaper but nasty nasty mean little fish

With all Centropyge angels, it can be hit or miss. I know some of the Pygmy Cherubs have been better than others from my experience. the Bicolor is definately NOT a good choice. I just got a yellowtail. I have witnessed him nip a coral or two, but not severly.

I have a coral beauty and flame that's going back to the lfs tomorrow. I've had them for 7 months and all at once they've taken a liking to my SPS... Had a coral beauty before that never, ever thought about touching my SPS. Tomorrow will be fun as I remove all my live rock :(
