I've always wanted a coral beauty, but my reef tank is at its full population. Would 12 gallons be enough to keep a CB? It would be the only fish. Also, would keeping it in such tight quarters enhance the chance that it picks on corals? TIA
Not really, at least not a full grown one. They get to 3.9" IIRC. I'd say 20 is probably the minimum. For the second question, yes. The best pygmy angel for such a small tank is probably a Centropyge argi or C. fisheri, if you can afford one.
Thanks, that's what I figured. I have had a C. argi in the past, and was hoping for something a little different. Oh well, I guess I'll pass on the angel for my nano. I want it primarily corals anyway, so it's better for their wellbeing this way
