| there are always some added risk when ordering online, you cannot see the fish before purchase, see it eat, size etc etc. usually if you can get it locally then do so. angels on the most part are hardy given good water conditons. but they are not always reef safe. they can nip at LPS and clams and can be a bit territorial. the swallowtail is a bit more timid than others such as the flame angel and definately needs many nooks and crannies to dart in and out of, the more they have the safer they feel and will spend more time out in the open, especially if you have other active fish.

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~ Quote:
