flame angel

[saltank]

been wanting to add a new fish to my 46gal reeftank and saw awesome colored flam angel at lfs

here is my dilemma, I currently have a clownfish and two damsels that I've had for about 2 years, am concerned about the damsels being aggressive, so I bought two small green chromis to see how my fish would react to them; after the first 15 minutes or so everyone seems to be settled in; if they remain peaceful I think I could add the flame angel

my other consideration is whether the angel would bother my corals, I have quite a few softies, lps and on sps - anyone have experience with this fish?

It looks very pretty and peaceful, looking for your opinions, thanks!!!

Flame angels are known to be hit/miss with corals - a lot will depend on the individual fish. To complicate things further, sometimes they are well behaved for years and then just start picking at stuff.

Cherub angels (C. argi) are very colorful and generally more reef safe although they are typically one of the more aggressive of the Centropyge genus.
