which large angle or butterfly is the safest bet for reef

[Dozer]

I've got this one: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...cfm?pCatId=413

The picture doesn't do it justice, it's a really pretty fish. Supposed to be great in reefs and so far has been great!

If I may make one more suggestion: if there is a certain fish you have your heart set on but it's usually only sold in a store you don't care for, you have another option. Pick your favorite store (Aquatek? River City?) and just ask them to order the fish for you. This way you can get the species you want and still buy from a store you trust.

I'd look into the Lamarck's and maybe the Regal if you really want to try an Angel in a reef.

Good choice Dozer. The bellus and watanabei are closely related to that one too. The pics do do them justice either. They all shimmer blue.

Yeah, some just don't photograph well, you know? I actually didn't think I'd like it as much as I do until I saw it in person the first time. it is quickly becoming my favorite fish.

Also in the same genus I have a genicanthus semifasciatus. This is the japanese swallowtail. She is an awesome fish and has such personality. I llike the color pattern on this fish and she has been a great tankmate with my copperband and others.

I use four eyed and a reef butterfly in one of my tanks that have frogspawn, hammers, leathers, zoos, ricordia. Pretty cool fish. I feed them(and all my fish) the red brine that I grow myself in my brin shrimp reactor. Big fat red ones, not to mention. Butt, the butterfly fish seem to like it better than blood worms, but they do like blood worms though.
