thats a good choice.
even if the multibar is eating, as with most angels, theyre still hit or miss on being reef safe.
cant go wrong with bellus, and a pair would be beautiful!

I'm also looking at stocking ideas for my new tank, sorry to semi thread hijack but is it good general rule of thumb that the Genicanthus genus are going to be your reef safe larger angels?

[asylumdown]

hehe, you can't hijack a thread this old...

but yes, genicanthus angels are considered the most reliably 'reef safe' angels, as far as angels go anyway.

This thread was from 2012 so you aren't hijacking anything.
Generally speaking, Genicanthus angels are more reef safe than any other angels. But, I have heard of occasion reports of them nipping at LPS, including my pair of larmark that are nipping at my open brain and acan from time to time. They are trying to eat the mucus and/or the waste from the mouth of LPS. This action doesn't seem to bother my LPS.

Wow, how did I even get reading it, time to slow down lol. Thanks guys

I've had my bellus for 2+ years and she's a model citizen
