    I think its a great idea that would be the perfect showcase fish for your tank. My flame never bothers my coral

    acclimate flame angels slowly. take your time on that. it's a sensitive fish to change.

    assuming your filtration is up to par (LR, skimmer, etc.) I'd say go for it. I also think that will put you at your fish limit.

    Should I go with the smallest one I can find. I found one which is about 2.5 in. I dont want to stress the other fish
