Dwarf angels are hit or miss. I won't trust one that isn't a proven not to pick on corals, from another reefer's tank. I had an Elibi (sp?) angel who killed 2 clams & 3 brains before I could catch him.

If I don't get a dwarf puffer for my 5.5g (3 weeks empty UGH) Im getting a 28g nanocube. I thinking either a small school of chromis or a pair of clowns. not a whole lot of fish, but lots of soft corals and zoas

I find that big tanks with huge schools of chromis and just a few other fish look really nice. Where getting some T5s soon and until we get a bigger tank i think we might just get one or two more pieces of LR. I did a water test recently and everything was at zero
. So we're doing good.

I drove to appleton today...
I stopped at over 5 pet shops. "over" 5 because there were 2 petsmarts XD
Just Pets had a tank for Indian Dwarf Puffers! O.o
It was empty except for small feeder fish, although the tank above it was teeming with green spotted puffers...losing hope exponentially by the day
They had a full grown blue/yellow Tang! (Dory XD ) $100 tho.

I forget there common name...hippo tangs or something like that but that was an option. Decided i had to much blue in the tank though between the 3 blue damsels. In other news....
LFS has an absolute gorgeous coral beauty! Should i get it this week

Careful--most dwarf angels are not reef safe for clams/LPS/SPS, even zoas.

I looked at a couple (well a lot) of threads on RC about dwarf angels. Right now i have a taro in there. Hitchhiker. I think i am going to take my chances with him but work out a deal with the lfs to be able to exchange him for another fish or fishes of equal worth if it doesn't work out. From what i've heard on RC the CB and FA are your best bet for reef safe dwarfs.
