I got my flame angle from petco in my reef tank and its doing great, Petco has some good deals but expect to pay $70 for him

When you find one "sure to be reef-safe", let me know because I have a bridge to sell you too

70$?!?!?!? That's crazy. Are there any other places that are reliable and have descent prices?

I'm just trying to find someone that doesn't want their flame angel that is reef-safe so that I don't have to worry about it nipping at my corals and having to then try to find a place that I can give or sell it to. I don't want to sound rude or anything, but if you guys could stop trashing up this thread and be somewhat serious and helpful, that'd be cool. thanks

Really? I thought that some of them were and some of them weren't. My friend had a flame angel and he had a bunch of corals with no problems.

The Flame Angelfish is a flashy addition to many aquariums. One of the most popular of the dwarf angelfish, the Flame Angelfish is a bold red/orange color with vertical black stripes highlighting the body and horizontal black stripes along the caudal portions of the blue-tipped dorsal and anal fins.
The Flame Angelfish requires at least a 30-gallon aquarium with lots of hiding places and live rock for grazing. The Flame Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles. If the Flame Angelfish is to be added to a peaceful community, it should be the last fish introduced. The Flame Angelfish adapts well to aquarium life, but should be kept in an established system and housed with dissimilar genera. The Flame Angel is very sensitive to elevated levels of copper, and should never be exposed to levels near or above 0.15 ppm.

The Flame Angelfish is hermaphroditic, very difficult to breed in an aquarium, and has no distinguishable differences in color between male to female.

The diet of the Flame Angelfish should consist of Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis or frozen shrimp, and other high-quality meaty items.

There are slight differences in both coloration and markings of this species based on the location of collection. Flame Angelfish from the Central Pacific include both Marshall Islands and Christmas Island. Marshall Island Flame Angelfish are redder in color, with thicker black bars running vertically down the body. Christmas Island Flame Angelfish are normally red/orange coloration with thin black bars running vertically down the body. Flame Angelfish from Tahiti are rarely collected and are blood red in coloration and possess very little to no yellow. It is important to note that these color descriptions are a general guideline. Please expect variation among each fish. The price differences between different varieties reflect the difference in collection, transportation and importation expense.

The thing with Flame Angels is that they could turn on you after months/years of them being well behaved. That being said, I have three of them in my tank.

I also wouldn't pay more than $50 for one

Fine then, does anyone have just a flame angel?

I have a flame angel that ive never seen pick at a coral but he did eat a clam. I would give him to you for 50 but im on long island so a bit far from you.
