Is there more than one dwarf angel?

I've read that angels can be territorial, which makes me think you can only have one per tank. Can anyone confirm this?

Are they safe for a reef setup, by the way?

Any advice or experiences you can share would be great, thanks.

What size tank are you planning to keep the angel in - that's a big factor here. If it's large enough, I think you'd be alright. The thing with dwarf angels is it's a bit of a gamble - some can be fin nippers, while others aren't.

If you have a lot of pricey corals, I'd probably err on the side of caution, but if you keep your angels well-fed, they might just work out in a reef setup.

It's a 250 litre tank, so hopefully that's big enough.

For keeping two in the same tank, I'd say you'd want at least 75gal, so your 250 litre tank is actually a decent size. However, as for being reef safe, it's really hit or miss - some people have no issues, but others aren't so lucky.
