Is it reef safe?

Are coral beauty angels reef safe?

Yes with caution.
All dwarf angles are potential coral (softies) nippers.

What does with caution means anyway. Once he is in there, he will be hard to remove. I just removed two damsel from my tank it took me a week of trying. I hate to have to go thru something like that again. Do you know of anyone that has one in there reef tank?

I've had a CB in my reef for years (actually 2 different ones...I lost the first after keeping it for 3+yrs during a tank move. )

It's my wife's favorite fish, so we got another, and neither has given me any problems, and the entire tank is full of soft corals.

So :thumbsup: from me anyway.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try one. the local store here just got one yesterday it's a beauty! It's about 3" and they only want $18. The only fish that I've had in the tank where those damsel,so I'm not to keen about fish and I only consider myself as a amateur when it comes to corals thou I have been keeping them for about three years now and have only lost one green polyp.

Caution is just watching. They can be coral nippers, but who knows? I just know what I read, no 1st hand experiance.

BTW. I am trying to get out a damsel myself. How did you finally do it?
Any recomendations?

I wouldn't risk it myself. If you have a reef with mixed organisms the chances are too great that they will find something to nibble on...

So you used the shrimp in net method, not the 2 liter bottle method.
