coral beauty and flame angel

[kjswift]

can they be housed together? is the coral beauty reef safe?

[cailan]

i think they would be okay together, maybe someone else can confirm that though. i wouldn't put either of them in a reef tank though, they might nip at your corals like most angels

[GaryP]

No! Its never a good idea to put 2 angels in a tank together.

i agree with gary, that could be a BIG mistake!

[GaryP]

Besides, I have never had a lot of luck keeping Coral Beauties alive. They seem "delicate."

sorry about the wrong info, my mistake. but i would agree with gary also for the coral beauty, my friend had trouble keeping one alive for more than a few weeks.

If you mix angels, it's generally wise to mix species from different families, say a genicanthus (swallowtail angels) and a centropyge (dwarf angels), or a pomacanthus and genicanthus etc. In my experience this is the best way to mix angels without WWIII breaking out. If you have a large tank, 100's of gallons for centropyge, 1000's for others angels, you should be more than safe mixing them.
Someday I would like to have a 5000 gallon . . . . .

i had a coral beauty for a long time, until one day, my yellow tang beat the living bejesus out of it...i guess some people dont have luck with certain fish, i cant seem to keep ocellaris clowns alive..lol

I have a coral beauty, sail fin, blue tang and Flame angel in my tank with no problems.
Neither one messes with the other and nothing picks on any of the corals or clams.

I've never mixed angels but had a coral beauty for about 4 years. One of the original fish I put in back when I started my tank and sold recently to ~TG~.

I have a flame and a passer angel that get along very well. I put them in together and when young. The flame originally was the dominant, but now with the passer being a bit larger he has taken the aggressor role. And neither have nipped at my corals....But then again this is my experience...

[~TG~]

I have brewercm's Coral Beauty along with a Tomato clownfish and an Ocellaris. Didn't have any problems at all for a few weeks ~ recently added a new fish and corals and boy was she MAD :shock: But it only lasted 1 day. I am finding alot of the corals bumped off or face down in the sand BUT thats because of her size and the lack of space for her to swim around. She'll be moving into "her tank" very soon... :)

dont do it...thats all i have to say

[texasranchers]

Have Coral Beauty, gets along great with reef and fish. But after these responses, I sure wouldn't take a chance. As always, be safe, not sorry.

[kaiser]

Yes, You can put both of them in one tank. Just leave the lights of for the first 2 days. I have a flame and a pygmy angel in my tank. They had a few fights in the beginning, but now they are getting along just fine.
