Flame Angel Bicolor Angel

I would like one of these if not both.

I know they may fight. I know the may nip at corals.

But i was wondering would they nip at corals that sting? Maybe i can only get corals that defend themselves?

if they want it, they will eat it. aiptasia and other anemones stings and butterflys love to eat them!

what size tank? how old is the system? i would not reccomend both. i had a flame angel, never touched my corals. every now and then a single zoa, but thats about it. bi color i have never owned so cant help you there...

Its a 56g tall. 90lbs rock. I want mainly the Flame as i hear the bicolor may suffer from all kinds of issues besides nipping.

I want the flame more than the corals.

Oh sorry the tank been up for over a year now.

personally, a flame angel is NOT worth more then having a full reef tank. i had my flame angel for 2 1/2 years. ill never do a flame angel again. such a bully and picked on all the new fish, and got ick all the time. pain in the butt. was so happy when i finally gave him away. its like a big bad bully was finally expelled and all my fish came out so much more and rarely hid anymore. its all personal opinions, but alot of others say their flame nipped all the time at their corals and all, but mine only liked a zoa head every now and then. your choice...

nipping corals is one thing, but harrasing the other fish i def dont want. Thanks for the info. i wonder if anyone else has had a flame that wasnt a bully.
