Half black angel....crustaceans?

[nanshaw2001]

Would love to have this fish....I have a cleaner shrimp, 2 anemones and a bunch of tube worms etc. Can I get any input as to problems with my crustaceans and inverts. 55 gal est for a year. Lawnmower blenny, blue chromis, bi-color blenny, Sally Lightfoot, 3 toadstool corals. Most worried about the cleaner shrimp....he's so much fun !!!!!

I think their biggest issue is with corals and clams. And supposedly, if you get them young,before they've gotten a taste for them, they may not try it. As they mature, they change from mainly herbivorous to carnivorous, and at that point, if they are not well fed, they may start nipping at things, discover they like them, and whabam, you're no longer reef safe. The shrimpy should be fine, but hopefully someone who has one will chime in too! btw, these are my fave angel, have you seen the half black lemonpeel hybrid? Those are gorgeous!
