Now I have decided to go with a Yellow Angel fish (dwarf) Now I do know that like all fish they are hit and miss with picking at corals and eating what I want! So I have gone with this fish and I have placed a rock in the tank that does have some Zoos on it. So I will be able to see if he is going to be a picker or not..

IMO I would not go judging an angel on weather or not it's going to give you troubles by simply letting it have it's way or not with some zoo's. Even if it never toucches your zoo's that doesn't mean that it won't have an appetite for other corals you may want to introduce in the future!
Angels and Tangs are true grazers, which means they will pick at or eventually eat anything growing on a reef that they can get a taste for.

cheers, Rich

I think you want to worry more about clams and SPS if I am not mistaken. I have a Centropyge potteri and Escenius bicolor, both of which reportedly nibble. Neither have touched my softies, polyps, LPS or SPS, now we just have to find out whether they have a taste for clams. And of course they may acquire a taste for montiporas later on... knock on wood.

i agree with that,

But again, i added this fish due to cash restraints.. So i think im going to be going with a fish only tank for this tank for a couple of years, i have a 30G tank going right now setup for Corals mostly all frags, so in a couple of years when they start to out grow that tank , then i would like to concider converting my Fish only tank into a reef! .. but then again, BY then i hope to have my house built and my custom tank in the basement.

Looking for a tank there 8 feet long 3 feet wide and 2 feet tall..
