    Default reef/clam safe dwarf angels

    im sure youve all read my clam and bicolour threads, now im on the look out for another dwarf angel....i know they can all be a risk but any comments on a specimen that may be less prone to nibble the clam mantle?

    potters angel maybe?

    comments and suggestions appreciated

    Not sure if it'll help as all fish are different, but my Coral Beauty has never so much as tried to nip my clam's mantle or any other corals. I've had the CB over 2 years now and my clam for nearly two years so they've been together for ages.

    Most dwarf angels are supposed to be fairly reef safe I thought, but they come with risk as we know. I guess its as Gillybaby suggests no two specemins are the same.
    Potters Angels are nice looking fish as are the fireball. Sounds a bit off the wall but I quite like the midnight as well.

    One I would take a chance with would be the Cherub Angel fish, C. Argi. Had one of these years ago. Very small compared with other Dwarfs. A real lovely blue colour with some yellow on the head. A very busy and inquisitive fish.
