Angels in a reef

[mr_alberta]

Are you eyeing the one at JL's Ruth? Beautiful fish. Not very common either from what I've seen.

Goldflakes are supposed to be one of the "safer" angels in a reef, especially an SPS dominated reef. IME with angels, "meaty" corals such as brains, blastos, and acans are probably their biggest target as well as zoas.

As they all say, it all depends on the specimen. I would love to get a goldflake if I could only afford it.

Yup eyeballing that one Harvey - I have wanted one for a long time as next to Tangs, Angels are my favorite fish. I am fortunate that I do have a backup plan if this one decides to munch down on my corals in that I can just move them to my 230g and go FOWLR if I have to in my 190g. Also only have 5 fish at the moment in my 190g so still lots of room. It also has lots of live rock (300+ lbs) and is skimmed with a BK400 skimmer so heavily skimmed and oxygenated (is that a word?).
