Tank Mates:
The queen angelfish will harass other fish without discrimination, particularly new additions to the aquarium. It should be the last fish added to any system. It is not a reef safe fish, and larger specimens may nip at or consume corals, particularly stony or soft ones, and ornamental invertebrates.
This is a young juvenile just starting to transform she is about 6 inches . I have had her since she wAs really small have put all different types of coral and sponges in with here with no intrest in any of them time will tell if she is reef safe . She is in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid sump with about 250 pounds of live rock she does have tank mates 3 wrasse that made it in there from being chase out bye an agressive terminal male filament wrasse in the display .a nako wrasse rainbow &solar
I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.

It is, indeed, a very beautiful fish. I saw a black and white pic of a juvenile queen in a book by Ed Fisher in 1955 here in Michigan, and it prompted a move to Florida (there were no saltwater fish in Michigan at that time, or salt to keep them in) and started a lifelong obsession with this discipline. All from a B&W pic of a queen. Still my favorite fish and I keep (properly) 2 10" specimens grown from smalls. Each has a 16' vat. By the by, if you thought I was knocked out by a B&W pic, try and imagine when I saw my first one underwater in real life. Educational note: Screaming underwater with a snorkel can cause saltwater ingestion.. Dick
