Angels > any coral for me. I was wondering if Wrasses are OK to be kept in pairs and harems of 3. According to evolved (Hunter) he advises against this entirely as females often end up changing into second and third males even if they started off as a spawning pair or trio. Have you found this to be true? I’m also curious about the Bodianus Hogfish or even Harlequin Tusks, a pair of them would look cool. So you have Goldflake, Emperor, Flame, Lemonpeel and Multicolor. Would you consider any Genicanthus or more Apolemichthys? Maybe a Chaetodontoplus? I love the Blue Line Angels of Poma Labs, they’re waiting to release their new batches. Won’t break the bank either. But you have a decent number of larger fish already so you may or may not want another larger fish. Their Red Sea Angels (Apolemichthys Xanthotis) aren’t seen in too many tanks. They get 6” tops if I’m correct. If you’re familiar with the Xanthurus Cream, the Xanthotis is like a souped up version of a Xanthurus.
@AbsoluteZero6714 I found with Leopards or Anampses wrasses that works. It is better to add a group of females at the same time, two or three females. One usually turns male at some point. It h as worked for me. I will add a few female blue star Leopards in he future. I had a pair, and lost one in my tank leak almost a year ago, the second one turned into a male. Definitely worth a try. I think I won't be adding any more angels, but the ones you mentioned are a great choice. I know several people that have a pair of Bellus Angels. Yeah I am not planning on adding any more larger fish....lol.
I have a mixed reef mostly acros . My Emperor and Strippey have been well behaved but I do expect them to one day turn onto my corals. It’s risky for me but I want them in my tank so I know the risk and what they are capable of .
Stripey is a moderately priced fish in North America but where I am originally from there’s like dozens of them in one catch along the Chinese coast. Common shallow water fish in China / Japan / Taiwan / southern Korea and Australia.
@coralreef909 I could if I didn't already have angels. So because I already had angels, I didn't want to drop money on big colonies to discover my angels eat them. So I opted for frags initially.
What an awesome tank, how big is it?
@streyon Thank you! It is 220 gallons and 6ft long! 😁
I want an Emperor Angel.
@@nmarq005 He's one of my favorites! He is like a puppy dog. He loves to be petted!
Your tank looks more impressive as time goes on your 12 year's experience has paid of 10 fold ❤

It’s very pricey here now that reefers are aware they eat Aiptasia
Shouldn’t you wait for the frags to grow into big colonies ? Mature colonies are less vulnerable to predation.
