Tell me about your reef safe Emperor Angels!

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

Brad - Update? How has the Emperor been?

Tyler, he's doing fine. Goes after my male anthias regularly, but it's just a bit of grunting and some posturing. Be aware that one doesn't mean the next would be good, all Angels are gambles. I had a Queen that was an angel (see what I did there? ) and after losing that one in the Marine Velvet fiasco, tried another. The second ate polyps off of every coral in the tank.
