I had flame angel when i started reef keeping and I remember giving my flame angel to his office FOWLR. Of course i had LPS and zoas hammers etc. and I enjoyed corals more. If you can find one tank raised, you may have better success. The tank I had was 65Gallon.
I had one before and it didn’t touch any of my lps. But it’s one of those your mileage may vary fish.

My first ever flame angel was awesome. Didn’t touch anything. Had them for 5-6 years and it died… my replacement was satan. That thing ate everything and anything but fish food. Tore my 250 DD apart trying to get it out. I haven’t tried one since
During the time you had your flame angel did you have any issues with it picking corals ?
Okay thank you I have a big trachea and I’m a little worried but honestly I like the fish more than the corals
What a shame that sucks that they vary that much. I hope you have better success in the future.

It did. Reason it was moved to fish only system. I remember it being pretty quick at it.
Maybe because it was wile caught.
I think most of my fishes are all wile caught other than the designer clownfish.
Flame angel was one of very first fish for me. So pretty.
I would have flame angelfish and coral beauty angel fish in the same tank if big enough. Even better, get all the exotic angelfishes

I forgot. That was like 15yrs ago. Frogspawn and hammers and Zoas maybe. Because I’ve never owned torches ^^;

I had one before and it never bothered any corals. It was a little more aggressive than my pygmy angel. Just be careful adding fish the same color combo as itself it may chase it for a tad then leave it alone.
I have had one and currently have a dwarf coral beauty. I know that my Favia corals did not stand a chance and were a buffet for them. Interesting enough they left my blasto alone. Currently my coral beauty doesn't bother anything in my mixed reef. I have everything from acros, leathers, zoas, gsp and encrusting and he doesn't bother them. But favia seems to be a treat. That's been my experience.
They are a little aggressive once they claim a territory especially towards fish similar in size and color. So add last
