Coral Beauty in the reef?
So I have heard a lot a people keep Coral Beauty Angels without any issues of coral damage.
Just looking to see probability of losing coral. Who is keeping one, and have you had any problems?

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I have a Potter's and a Flame, all good for me.
Remember that they are NOT necessarily reef safe, so they can start picking at anytime. It is a gamble, but if you get one that is safe, then great. Coral Beauties are a beautiful fish. I got a Potters to be different as everyone gets the Coral's, take a peak at these they are a beautiful fish also.

I did consider a Potters but I think they have a higher probability of eating corals.... from what I have read.
I know that its a gamble.... I am just hoping for the best. Want to add something nice to the tank that my six line can't hassle.

angels are angels.....complete crap-shoot when it comes to them.....as Rick said, you can have one in a reef for years and then all of a sudden they will start picking for whatever reason......that being said, I had a flame and a bi-color in V1 with no issues.... I thought that the bi-color was eating my acans so I caught him out and sold him.....turns out it was my reagal tang that was eating the acans
 .... I now have a deepwater coral beaty in V2 and so far so good.....you pay your money, you takes your chances
