Just curious

Is there any way to distinguish a male and female coral beauty angel, if so how? Also, is it possible to breed them in the tank? Has anyone done this? Any thoughts?

What I understand about Cyntropigi angels is that males tend to be a larger fish in a harem of smaller, presumably female, fish. In order to pair them up I would sugest getting two small fish along with a larger fish and introduce them to the aquarium at the same time. Feed them well and you should get them spawning.
