I got this cute little guy (lemon peel angel) about 2 weeks ago and he is in my 34 gallon. I really like him very much and would like to move him to the 95 gallon but I already have an Angel (the last picture. For some reason I forgot the name) in there.
Need some advice:
Please ID the angel in the last pic.
Will they match or am I going to run into trouble putting them together?
Thanks for any input

looks like Eibli Angel.
we have acclimation box in store, that might be able to help you to do that.

definitely possible.
acclimation box may be the best way to do this though.

Watch out if you have a yellow tang also. I tried to keep a lemonpeel with a yellow tang and the tang relentlessly stalked and harrassed the angel. Ended up removing the angel.

Last pic is certainly an Centropyge eibli or Eibl's angel. While you may have enough realestate to add the lemon peel, keep in mind that neither are considered 100% reef safe. Each fish is different, but IME, I have not found a Centropyge sp. that I trust in my reef tank. They may not cause total destruction, but can irritate LPS, softies and clams to a point where they will not open fully. I think it is just a matter of time until angels will turn against corals. After attempting three different species and having to tear my reef apart trying to catch the things three different times, my reef tanks are all angel-free. Too bad, they are beautiful fish.

Thank you guys for the input.
Will definetely consider your ehlpful answers in my decision.
Good to know about the Yellow Tang. Never would have thought of that. And mine is quite dominant for sure
