Angels In Your Reef Tank? - Livestock Series

Why would you put a fish with a reputation for eating corals in your tank? In this episode, we discuss putting Angelfish in your reef. We review which types are reef safe, which fall into the fish on the fringe category, and which angelfish we avoid at all costs. We also talk to an experienced reefer to see which Angelfish he keeps in his reef tank and receive recommendations from Laura Simmons at Cairns Marine.

I cant believe the dude had an emperor angel in that tank. That's shocking and it hasn't nipped coral! I'm impressed

[@FadiAbuTahoun]

eegernades that is me 😎, I think I said it eats zoas.

[@eegernades]

@@FadiAbuTahoun I meant sps. Should've been more specific. But well done dude. I never expected to see one in a reef tank. Got any advice for keeping one in a reef? I know you said you got them small and fed alot to dissuade them from nipping at sps. Anything else you tried?

[@FadiAbuTahoun]

eegernades large enough tank to keep the emperor happy, and good filtration to keep up with the heavy feeding. IMO angels tends to pick on lps more than sps.

[@erycricardo3087]

Can’t wait... 😍

I like you add the 1st person perspective, but think your thoughts on what the other person says can be expanded a little. Great content.

[@sompen]

I've never had a problem with my current regal or ones i've had in the past. My flame angel was another story, constantly nipping!

[@balkin33]

Genicanthus lamarck ... I have one of these in my 230g and she is a good kid!!

[@MrKeithHoward]

Hi from the Rock of Gibraltar. Any chance of a video showing Hardy corals apt for a none reef safe fish aquarium.

[@mariobetancourt9549]

Regal angel and Bellus angel in my 210 reef tank. No problems.

[@Peterrdee]

Look at that massive LINED BUTTERFLYFISH I LOVE THEM SO CUTEEEEEEE

[@krishnar1182]

I have a Coral Beauty in my 69 gallon aquarium and it never touches the corals (softies and LPS) and is not overly aggressive.

[@pauldeacon8764]

Hi Mark! great video! I thought that if u keep more than one angelfish they would fight! 😀👍

[@alaskacosplay]

I want to buy a baby emperor one day and raise it to be a beautiful adult but I think an angel I could easily afford for now are the dwarf angels and maybe more readily available large angels like regal angels or Korans.

[@awilson500]

Where did you get the shirt

[@AbsoluteZero6714]

I’m personally interested in G. Melanospilos and G. Watanabei. What about the hardiness of these two species? Are they more susceptible to disease than most other fish? If I buy 2 females will 1 likely change to male over time / will 2 females likely fight?

[@awilson500]

Mark I have to have that shirt

[@leerose6257]

Would love to put a bi colour angle fish in my tank but heard there one off the worse

[@huffman747]

I have 2 Potter's and a BlueFace. I can't have zoas or brains (both thanks to the blueface) but I have SPS, hammers, torch, and a clam. Never got up the nerve to try acans or welso with them so I traded those corals away.

[@johnwesley111harrison4]

Coral beauty and flame angelfish are not realy a threat to coral

[@johnwesley111harrison4]

Except for genicathus very reef safe angelfish easy to keep too

[@AbsoluteZero6714]

Oh really? Which species of Genicanthus do you have?

[@theautist9227]

Has anyone had experience keeping angelfish with soft corals? I read they leave mushroom 🍄 corals alone.

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

Depends on the angel. plenty of angels don’t touch corals

[@timothykasel6409]

I have a Koran Angel in a 170g reef years. Have LPS ,Mushrooms,and SPS. Biggest thing I do is make sure it is well feed. Providing the right nutrition is a key to success is what I’ve noticed.

[@lovermansmith9082]

Can I answer ? Yes I can . But what would be the answer to the the answer than ?

[@marianamator4171]

😀

[@johnwesley111harrison4]

have a coral beauty or flame angelfiah instead there are the easiest angelfish to keep

[@johnwesley111harrison4]

there popular becuase ther hardy beatiful and not so expensive

[@johnwesley111harrison4]

Reef safe with caution still

[@johnwesley111harrison4]

Becareful angelfish are picky

[@pj2854]

They do great except, they do great but except! Sounds like they aren't doing that well!!

[@glennrudolph]

Gosh I really want to watch this but I just can’t listen to someone who goes by that name. So pathetic. Get a new pr rep
