Who Gives A Fish Forums

hey guys, just got a juv. angelfish, about 2 inches long, and put it in my reef tank. after re-reading some info online, i realized it might not be reef safe. it's been in there for 5 hours now and it's looking for food, not bothering my corals like my frogspawn, condylactis anemone, and xenia's.

i've heard some emperor angelfish can do alright in reefs, but others can't - is it just a gamble? also, gotta keep in mind this is just a juv. and it's only been in my tank for a few hours, so we'll see how it goes. might get lucky or it might not work out.

any thoughts?

I've seen some emperor angelfish do alright in reef tanks, no issues at all. But honestly, it's a gamble, all angels are like that. They can be fine for months, not touch a single polyp, then just go and munch on a whole xenia or something without any warning.
