I'm in a position to get a particular one, so a baby isn't really an option. Worst case is I have to catch it. With over 100 SPS colonies, hopefully it doesn't do too much damage before I have to catch it.
I have read quite a few threads now though, that claim they are fairly reasonable with SPS and euphyllia corals. I think I'll chance it.

Hope it works out for you,I could only imagine the hassle for removing the fish after being introduced to a full tank.On a side note there are 4 types of euphyllia and brains in my tank with no problems

I just put a Juvi in and he has no interest at all in any corals

I am sure you have read this stuff on keeping large angels, but for the benefit of those that have not here they are.

Bottom Line is that if a reefer isexperienced, take care in their feeding and have a suitably large tank the reefer should be successful in keeping larger angels.

I might be setting up an angel tank in the near future so please keep a record of coral they prefer to eat.
Thanks

Update. Empy (named by Ronnie at Proreef) has been in the tank for a few days now. No nipping and even has left the clam alone. Of course the clam will now probably be eaten when I get home because I said that, but so far, he's a good fish.

I hope you have success. My emperor or majestic have never touched my clams altho my blueface is kinda eyeing them up over the past week
