Lemonpeel & Coral Beauty...will they fight?

[Anonymous]

Yea or Nay will suffice.

Thanks.

Peace,

Nay!

(add an additonal angel ~ yea / tank size dependent)

It's not a good idea. Dwarf angels are a smart and highly territorial fish, which will always mean stress, if you try to keep two in a medium size (50 -75 gallon) aquarium.

It's never a simple yes or no

My answer would be "very likely". Also, Lemonpeels are probably the worst to keep with corals.

Yes. Sorry, can't just say one word. They're like damsels. They will fight each other if they are of similar shape and size, but if you can occupy them with more than 1 (I used to have a coral beauty, a lemon peel, a potters, a shepards, a flame, a key hole, and an eeblei together with an established pecking order in a 125) you can occupy them so they don't kill each other. Sometimes...

I would respectfully suggest you add nothing to your tank until your tank settles down.
Neither fish is good for a reef tank and there is a strong likelyhood of stress in your tank caused by territorial quarells.

Easy one. If the lemon peel is healthy, it will kill the coral beauty eventually. It will then destroy every living thing in your reef....

I have three lemon peels. I compare them to piranha - they are far worse than the trigger they reside with.
