Koran Angelfish (Juvenile) and Coral - Aquarium Advice

90gallon · 09-15-2006, 08:58 PM

I currently have a Juvenile Koran Angelfish and was wanting to know people's thoughts on adding coral into the aquarium. Is this a bad idea or will the Koran leave the coral alone? Please help before I spend lots of money on upgrading equipment for coral..... Thanks in advance!

Setup
-----------------
1 clownfish, 1 banded coral shrimp, 2 turbo snails, 3 hermit crabs
90 gallon corner tank, wet/dry filter, 192W Compact Fluorescent light, LR,

The fish may/maynot nip corals as a juvenile, but certainly will as an adult. I guess you need to ask yourself if you plan on getting rid of the fish in a year or so.

I agree with Mrs Hara that it`s a crap shoot now and for sure later.

I had a small juvenile koran angelfish before I started my reef tank. As soon as I started adding corals he went right after them. Anyway, I wound up retruning him to the lfs. In my opinion I would choose between the reef and the fish, although its a shame because it such a beautiful fish!
