Have you taken a look at other species that are better suited or are you really set on a Flame? I really like a few of the dwarf angels too, but I like my corals (and clam!) better. I also think your tank is a bit small for a Flame. I wouldn't put one in a tank smaller than about 30 gallons, and i think yours is 20 if I remember correctly?

Check out this website for other ideas: http://www.nano-reef.com/fish/

Personally, I think your tank would be perfectly suited to a Jawfish, and then maybe an Orchid Dottyback. Or a shrimp/goby pair instead of the Jawfish...?

Actually...here is a much bigger list: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...howtopic=74703

They do list Flame Angels on the 20g list, but they also have Maroon Clowns on the 20g list...so take it with a grain of salt that's for sure!!!

I'm just trying to give you other options. It's a pain in the butt to capture fish out of a tank, not to mention stressful on the fish. In the end it's your call. They are nice looking fish.
