angels r nt reef safe, some might nip some might nt ... Melvyn's blueface like to snack anemone :pinch::shock: cool....

for your tank size, suggest you keep dwarf or juv angel, price range varies $10+ to few hundred dollars... flame angel will be nice, rather hardy, around $35-$50, depend on size. :lol:

bro Melvyn, i thought regal more gentle :unsure:

I have no experience with regal so do not know the nature, so far amongst the angels i am experienced with, the French is a very docile fish.

mine is only 3 feet tank... so i guess its not advisable for me to keep all is it evan tout all e fish r juv....

3 ft can keep angels, but do need to be a little mindful of the nos. you are keeping and also the sizes.

If you like the big angels, try to get the adult ones as the transformation is complete so colouration and looks are better. If you get juv and await the transformation, most of the time it will not be as nice. Fully transformed adults need not necessarily mean very big sizes, it sometimes can be quite small.

Some angels are very expensive, like the clarion and conspicuous as an example. French, queens, kings are expensive like in the region of S$150 - S$250 above for good specimen.

Some angels are not suitable for the tank as they are quite difficult to keep. Overall, angels are prone to nip and/or eat corals.

If you intend to keep, choose a nice one like the flame angel (small type of angel) or for the medium sized angels the goldflake which is very much less likely to wreak havoc in your tank.

You will find the grace of the angels swimming in your tank (especially the big angels) you can even play with them with you bare hands (like i do sometimes with my French and also sohal when feeding).
