Which Angel should i look at?

[Jackalope12]

I have a 75 gallon tank with macro algae and green star polyps

Fish include
Fire goby
Exquisite wrasse
And a bangaii cardinal

Inverts
2 sexy shrimp (i think they dissappear and reapear, and I am setting up a nano tank for them)
Scarlet cleaner shrimp
Harlequin shrimp
Fire shrimp

One lfs carries coral beauties
And another carries dwarf flames

I know they will pick and the corals and algaes. In a few years if they get to big i can move it to my 90 gallon

What are your recommendations?

Flame, no comparison in terms of looks.

They aren’t going to get too big. A 75 gal is big enough for dwarfs.

They also don’t always nip. So either one is fine.

I have a coral beauty has never picked on the corals, leaves them alone, and never even touches them, macroalgea I'm not sure about. Very pretty, and is currently in my 30g tank

I was confused when I looked up tank size requirements today. Because I swore I saw before they liked 90 gal or larger

They are pretty active fish right? Good swimmers because the goby and cardinall while neat are pretty stationary

A 75 gal is more than enough space. I had a dwarf in a 55 gal and a 30 gal.

And yes they are one of the most active fish imo.

Yep. I've had both. Neither nipped at my corals.

mine is in a reefer 300 xl so approx 250/ 50sump litre's and he has place enough ....

I’ve got a lemonpeel and a flame. Neither one has ever bothered corals.

 

[Jackalope12]

Went with the Coral Beauty. Honestly more for the price $37 for coral vs $120 for flame.

She's seems happy so far

Do you already have a view on his behaviour ? Did u notice any agression and ofc any nipping on coral's ?

Seems docile. One of my sexy shrimp is not on its maxi mini carpet anemone. But they have disappeared on me before

No bites out of any of the macro algae including the sea lettuce.

Really likes going through the rock archs vs the more open tank

Zero chasing with the fish

Also very active swimmer so great addition to the tank

Dwarves will use the entire tank.
The bigger the better but I had mine in a 75 for about 7 years.
Absolutely the most aggressive fish I've ever had.
Period.
Has never picked on a coral.
Not once.
These guys do "play up to the competition " if you will.
I think if the other tank mates are docile, you might be ok.

Rusty Angels are very under appreciated-- their color is quite nice when the light hits them.
