I had a quick question about the goldtail angel (Pomacanthus Chrysurus). Now I know no angel is “reef safe” but I have to ask…Can a Chrysurus be kept in conjunction with reef tank inhabitants?

I know that some angels can get along in a reef such as majestics and imperators. I mean I’ve seen it done before and was wondering if you think a Chrysurus could fit into the somewhat reef safe angel category. The tank will have mostly SPS corals with a very healthy fauna. It’s a 70g tall tank (I know waaay to small for this fish but will be upgraded to the likes of a 180-300g system by the time it grows out of its juvenile phase) with a 20g sump and 20-50g refugium. All I’m asking is “can it be done” if I take the right precautions (quarantine, healthy eating individual, small initial size, etc.)? Thanks for the help and quick response 🙂 Chris AKA Fishtank Stocking a 75 Gallon Tank Hi all, It has been a while since I’ve been to the site, was very pleased to see the new ezine ‘Conscientious Aquarist.’
