Coral Beauty reef/invert safe?

[Heineken]

I've seen many reef tanks that have been successful keeping a coral beauty, yet it is a type of angel fish, right? It is such a nice looking fish and I'd love to have one if possible. Anyone want to share any horror or success stories with them? Cautions/warinings I should know? Thanks!

I've had one in a reef with inverts for almost a year without a problem.

I have also had one in my reef tank for a while with no problems. I don't think anyone can tell you a definate answer on this species. There are people who have had success and some who have not. The best that can be given is it's 50/50. Good luck

I got one and within 48 hours it was eaten by my tube anemone

Same here. There is always a potential though...you'll just have to watch him. Most of the dwarf angels are OK in a reef tank, but there is always the occasional criminal who will slink around eating your corals.

i have head they are about the safest of the dwarf angels for a reef tank. the flame angel is also fairly safe but not as safe as the CB.

Thanks for the replies. I'll take my chances and get one when the time comes.

I am planning on adding that little beauty to my system myself.
