Is this fish able to be put into a reef tank?

Flagfin Angelfish
Apolemichthys trimaculatus

What do guys think? Will I have any issues? I was planning on one for a 240 gallon reef tank.

 

I'm sure you already read this, but this is what liveaquaria has to say:

The Flagfin Angelfish, also referred to as the Threespot Angelfish, is a brilliant yellow with blue lips, a dark blue-black dorsal spot where the head joins the body, and a light tan spot behind the eye.

Provide plenty of other hiding places in a 125 gallon tank or larger as the Flagfin Angelfish is quite shy early on and should be the only angel in the tank. Not a good reef dweller, the Flagfin Angelfish is prone to nip at sessile invertebrates (soft and stony corals) and clam mantles.

This is a difficult angelfish to keep due to its dietary requirement of sponges and its poor ability to adapt to other foods. Expert aquarists may have success by providing a mixed fare of sponge-containing frozen angelfish rations, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, a plethora of plant material, and live rock for grazing and hiding.

 

I assumed you read my FOTM article?
If not, here it is:

One of my favorite fish, which I consider (with my experience with it) reef safe. Just be sure to get some feeding and sponge supplements like I mention in the article!
Good Luck!

 

Thank you for your response.

No first time I've seen this article Thank You. I think like you, do from what I read. Most fish are often miss-categorized do to one or two bad fish experiences. I have read multiple articles and books that state Maroon Clowns should never be in a reef tank as they are bullies and will pick on the other fish. I have had mine in a reef for the last 5 years and they don't bother the other fish unless those fish swim into their nesting grounds.
