Well I have a Queen Angel, Koran Angel, Majestic Angel, Asfur Angel living together peacefully in a 120G. I had a French in there also but had to remove her due to the Queen Angel chasing her.

if u introduce them at the same time in a large tank, it usually is the best bet.
bare in mind angels dont like other angels that look like themselves, ie similar size, shape n color.

All adults, I introduced the Queen and the French at the same time, but the Koran and Majestic were in the tank already. Then I introduced the Asfur and I thought I was going to run into a problem with that one, but then the Queen started with the French.
Now the French has an entire 125g for herself, for now atleast, that could change tomorrow...

These guys were in my 90g about 5 yrs ago:
Tank has been taken down but they grew up as small adults 'cept the annularis which was a juvenile.

Generally if the genius is the same they don't get along so well unless your tank is huge or overcrowded. I've kept many angels in a tank together my old partner used to have a tank with 15 angels. Juv. are fine and size makes a difference but with the Blueface try
holocanthus
regal
asfur
chaetodontoplus probably the riskier one so size matters the most.
centropyge
genicanthus
any angel is a risk please keep this in mind.

Bikini,
I've had pretty good success with keeping angels for the last 25 yrs. That tank in the pic was my first reef ready tank built by World Class Aquarium on Flatbush Ave. At the time, if you wanted reef ready it was either Clarity Plus (acrylic) or custom built. AGA, Odell, Perfecto were still glass boxes only
I broke that tank down after back to back wipe outs after I moved it from Queens to Long Island. When the tank was in Queens, I had a Emp, BlueFace & French for 11yrs.

Actually this is completely wrong. Almost all the larger angel are super hardy, a lot of people even use Queens and Blues Angels to cycle tanks. There isn't any reason that you shouldn't have one of these large Angels for 10 - 20 years, unless you have poor water conditions and fed your fish badly.

I always thought Queens suffer from incorrect water quality and a poor diet. This is news to me, hey I just learned something...

If you have Sh*t water almost any fish is going to suffer. Food wise Queens/Blues eat just about anything so diet isn't a problem but like all fish they need a proper diet. In the end they get very big and are usually very aggressive.

last hijack, sorry pmui
Even had crazy arse cross hatch in there at one time. Cross hatch eventually went to Atlantis (20,000g reef tank):

I agree with that and if someone has sh*t water they should not have any fish as far as I am concern, but isn't sponge a main part of an angels diet? I feed all my angels a variety of foods(flakes, frozen, pellets, etc) and make sure that sponge is fed every other day to keep there colors nice. Is this not so?

The aggression part sucks alright. I think if I was not fortunate to be able to stay home most of the week, I don't think I would have angels. It is like you have to baby sit them and watch there every move and have back up tanks just incase you have to pull one out. They are certainly not for everyone...

If the beginner doesn't have good water quality and feeds the fish correctly it doesn't really matter what they place in the tank, unless it's an eel or maybe a grouper. As for beginner, yes they shouldn't start with an Angel as they need more care than other fish.
As for aggression toward tank mates, well I'm not sure an Angel is any worst than a Damsel or any of the Dottybacks, outside of a large Passer.

A lot of the Angels in the wild eat sponges, algae, worms and corals. Most can be fed various foods, some which you mention above, as substitutes to what they eat in the wild and they'll do very well. So it's great that you can fed them sponges but a lot of people can't but with the available substitutes food the Angel will still do very well.
