    If Im going to add a Swallowtail Angel and either a Flame or Coral Beauty Angel to my tank should I add them at the same time or one after another

    I'd be a little hesitant to add the Flame angel. My buddy and I just destroyed his tank trying to get it out because it was picking at all his LPS corals. I've heard that most flame angels are reef safe, but not this one. I will never add another one of those guys.....so just be careful if you do.

    Angels do best together in very large tanks or in heaven, so your 125g should be ok, but heed bulldog's advice, the dwarves are coral pickers just some more than others.

    if you do add those 2 seperqtely , add the flame last. they can be quite agressive if added before another angel. probably best if added together. ive got both the coral beauty and flame , with the beauty being in first. so theres no real aggression between the 2. also neither of mine have ever gone after any coral or the clams mantle. but still, angels do come with those words of warning as being possible nippers. good luck
