Thanks SQ that is correct on total length. I've seen clowns and Coral Beauties in the 5-6" range as mature adults. 3 fis equals 15 - 18".

As BoomerD points out 30 gallons is really the minimum tank size as this gives hobbiests a little room for error. I have a 20 gallon, but can squeek by due to its 30" length. Lateral swim room is important to fish. I have a skimmer and only two small damsels in my 20 gallon long.

I apologize for omitting the additional concern that a Coral Beauty is a grazer and needs a mature tank with algae growth. Unless you are going to upgrade immediately, I woulsd again urge you to return the angel to the LFS.
