How aggressive is marine Angel ?

[greenhorn]

I understand that the fresh water Altum Angels are very aggressive and territorian ***is there such word**. What about marine angels? Are they very aggressive towards smaller fishes? Are they more aggressive than cinamon clown fishes ? Is it true that the surgeon fishes will eat all the caulerpa algae until all become bare? How do I keep the eating of caulerpa in check if I decided to keep surgeon fishes ?

Surgeon or Tangs are all 'green' eater. You can not keep Tangs with caulerpa togehter. That is their food in the wild.

Yes, "territorial" is the word.

I'm afraid I can't help you here - I can't even keep my caulerpa alive!

Greenhorn,
normally, u can safely keep a dwarf and a large angel together with no prob.. u can also keep 2 dwarf angels together.. if your tank like at least 4ft. i have tried keeping flame, lemonpeel and a bi-color inside my 4ft.. initially, they fought.. but after a while, they are settled down and have their own territory.. this phenomenon occurs to new fishes that i introduced..

if u have to keep caulerpa, u can try keeping them in the refugium.. but must be away from all the green eaters like what wangz had mentioned.. i feed my angels and tangs with lettuce... to supplement their diet..[] so.. it is not advisable to do that.. if u want to keep caulerpa, make sure that u dun have any green-eaters.. or they will become tasty snack for them.. and expensive one for u..
