Alright, now that everyone fell for my click-bait title (I'm kidding, I didn't do that on purpose but it sure is funny how it sounded when I typed it), I need help with deciding which Angel to move along from my system.

I'm hoping to remove one angel out of 5, one pyramid butterfly (only planned for 1 but both made it through QT), and one flame wrasse (my pair turned into 2 males quick and they are fighting) and add a ton more anthias and some sand dwellers for a busier community look with potentially less bioload in the end. Also, didn't realize until I completed my fish list and added them in the tank that I have a ton of blue/yellow fish so hoping to fix that as well with these changes.

So my question is... Which angel to cut. Thought it would be fun to ask out loud on the forum. I've kind of pre-selected one already in my head.

1) Red Sea Regal Angel
2) Emperor Angel
3) Scribbled Angel
4) Flame Angel
5) Majestic Angel

Here's a pic of 4 out of the 5 of them. No flame.

I’d say scribbled angel. Rest of them are too colorful to give up even though they are all beauties.
In her defense, at roughly 4-6", supposedly she will go male and look like this.

Not an angel but you can send one of those flame wrasse over here [emoji118] [emoji33]
Haha, I heard you can still get one from Hawaii for like $10,000 and your left kidney! [emoji14]
 
My thought is that is the one angel that isn't blue/yellow. [emoji23]

Even though he's pretty common compared to the others and he's kind of a jerk.

Flame is nice but I like the others more. After I finish my wrasse collection I will be getting juv’s of those 4.

Nice! I like your style! Can I interest you in a combo fish pack of flame wrasse and booted angel TBD. [emoji12]
 
I'd also boot the scribbled and sell the Flame Wrasse.. just throw it in my frag pack
