Hi all,

I have the following fish in my 48 x 24 x 25 " tank with a trickle style filter (upgraded from a 45 gallon tank)

2 x Clarkii clowns
1 x Fire Fish
1 x Regal Tang
1 x Fox Face
1 x Cleaner Wrasse
1 x Hawk Fish

I was wondering could I add a copperband, Saddle Valentini Puffer or Blue Spotted Puffer and a dwarf angel maybe a coral beauty

puffers will desimate your cleaner crew if you have one

IMO you cant go wrong with a coral beauty, their colors are incredable

coral beauty is the hardiest and safest around corals... why don't you get a pigmy angel...? they are 100% reef safe and somewhat affordable... i want a flame back...

I like the potted angel. You can see it in a DrF&S maginzine out and about. There really pretty If kept well ( and I dont dout that at all ) Tehy show a very pretty orange/yellow tint to them.

Angels aren't reef safe........they pick at polyps. Thats for ANY angel. Coral beauties included. BUT I have seen several coral beauties kept in a reef tank.........that being said it completly depends on the individual fish. My lfs had a coral beauty in its display tank.....BUT.....ive never heard of any other angel being held without problems. Im not saying its not possible........but its unlikely.

Well im not risking my $90 an inch garf bonsai.....or my Tubbs Blue Zoas that used to cost 25 bucks a polyp. Or my Purple rim Orange montipora cap......Corals are so expensive why risk it was all I was saying.
