I have a keyhole angel and bi-colour angel together in a 46g and, after the initial power struggle settled, they are doing fine. I have heard that putting 2 dwarf angels together can be dicey. I guess it just depends on the fish.

Depends a lot on the size of the tank too. I've got a coral beauty and a flame angel in my tank but it's a 180G.

I have a flame angle, a dwarf blue and a majestic angle in the same tank. For a period I also had a potters angle in the same tank. Once the pecking order was established they lived together for a few years.

Think a bi-color can live in a 250 with SPS and clams and be relatively reef safe?

Default beat the odds

people say it can't or shouldn't be done, but you can mix all kinds of angles - acute angles, obtuse angles, right angles, reflex angles...

but watch out for straight angles - they're difficult, only for experienced reefers.

as for Centropyge spp. - it's common wisdom that they aren't a good bet to mix. there's some argument that the frontiers of the hobby are advanced by bold fish-keepers who experiment with such arrangements, but mostly that's an excuse for being irresponsible.
