    I would do a cheap test run. If things work out well, then keep the fish, otherwise you can find a new owner with a minimal loss.

    Not really much of a debate with this type of angel. Others you have a shot, but rarely with these guys.

    Keeping the fish means no reef.

    Starting a reef means no fish.

    setting up a FOWLR tank means keeping both.

    There is an emperor angel in the PSU tank and it eats anything soft that we put in.

    My friend had a queen angel in his dt and he took it out earlier this week because it was picking on his lps

    Just put mine up for sale as it was eating every coral it could get to and shreaded a 14 in clam. Good luck keeping one in a reef tank...

    He told us to debate, that means one of us has to take the other side.

    Pick a number 1-10 if you guess the one I'm thinking of, then your on the wro.. I mean other side and must argue accordingly.

    There is a local guy with a juvi that claims it does not pick. Angelfish can change behavior as adults, though. There's not really a debate, because nobody's consulted a Koran Angelfish on his opinion. ;D

    Elwes,

    I would not take the chance if you are dead set on a reef! too much to risk.

    also, I was in your area monday and the week before. i Love that Creations reef store. Very good knowledgeable folks.
