Angel question

[lurker]

Could I keep any two of these three angels in a 100 gal. with around 125 lbs of live rock?

1) Coral Beauty
2) Flame Angel
3) Lemonpeel Angel

Other fish would include 2 false perculas, 1 shrimp Goby, 1 green Clown goby, 1 Swalesi Basslett and 1 sixline or flasher wrasse.

Thanx for any suggestions

You should be able to keep any one of the three, the lemonpeel has a bad habit of nipping at sessile inverts, so if this is going to be a reef, or ever going to be a reef, I would steer clear of that one. The other two have varying records with sesslile inverts.

I believe you would be taking a chance keeping two. Make sure you can return one or have another tank to one in should the squabbling not stop.

are the flame angels reef safe? i saw one at the lfs and i love the look would add some nice color to my tank. but i have a few leathers in there now. and do they get vary big? it is a 46 gal tank.

They will get upto about 4", they may be reef safe, some will not ever bother corals and clas, some won't for years then one day start nipping and some will nip from the get go.
