Reef safe angels.

[indecloudzua]

Hey,
there was a couple threads i was in that talked about reef safe angels and specifically the dwarf and pygmy variety. I came across this good thread on reefcentral and thought i would share. he takes all the data and lists it in a excel spreadsheet and its pretty good. on page 12 of the thread(the page im linking has the most current one)

The only reliably reef-safe angels are of the genus Genicanthus.

They are not as common in the hobby, but they are unique and beautiful, and they don't harm corals.

Any other genus is a gamble. Some more so than others, but it really is a "maybe". Genicanthus is not a gamble.

Have you had any experience with woodheadi's?? I've got one and I couldn't find anything on them actually eating corals..and he's been good so far but I try to keep him well fed..and I should have stated the post better not to mean reef safe but the probability of one's that might be safer choices than others.

Jenn:

Do you know if any of these Genicanthus species have been captive breed?

If they are captive breed; then I need to include one on my list of future purchases.
