Default Eibli Angel

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had the experience of keeping this species of dwarf angel?
I saw a super healthy Eibli in one of the local shops recently as I was getting some snails and hermit crabs for my 75 (yeh yeh I finally got a move on that setup...shush)
I just loooooooved the look of this angel, but rather than being an impulsive shopper I decided to leave it in the store and do some research first and found that it was generally easy for an angel.
Nothing surprising came up, usual care for dwarf angel....
But I always want to hear other people's experience.

I wanted to keep it in a 75 gallon reef tank but I know there is chance of nippyness. Your thoughts + experiences?

I love the look of Eiblii's too but mine was a nipper. In my old tank, it even sampled my seahorse, which was grounds for eviction. My cherub was a much better angel, feisty but not harmful in any way.

Alright thanks for the info guys, as I thought you can't always believe what you read..hence why I asked.
Shame, they are gorgeous...
So I will let that one go and admire the species from afar....

Or tear down my freshwater tank and make it a FOWLR tank hahahaha...

there is a variety of mimic tang that looks very much like an eibli angel. they come in a few times a year.

I'll look into it, thanks a bunch.
Still wondering what I'm going to put in there, any suggestions?

Hi Petcrazy
It is great to see your back working on your tank.
Eibli angel's look great however if you are looking for a reef safe dwarf angel you can not beat the cherub, They have great colour and are always active. He will quickly become one of your favorites. You will have to drop over and see what I have done with my tanks, you will not recognize them.
