Emperor Angel with Fairy wrasses?

Going to be converting my 125 reef into a fowlr. I've read that Emperors as they mature tend to be very aggressive, but it depends on the individual fish.

Anyone out there with an adult emperor with fairy wrasses, any problems?

Thanks,
Steven

Before I removed mine (cause he was bothering too many of my other angels) it got along fine with johnsoni, lineatus, flame, pylie, pink margin, solon, etc.

Only fish which really bothered the fairy's was a clown tang. Meanest fish I've had.

Please stick to the subject, start your own thread if you want to talk about angels in a 125.

LOL!! Thank your soooo much for saying that!! I almost hate reading through this site now a days because people are only interested in the size of tank. Ive had people get mad at me for having a yellow tang, and a blue throat trigger in a 5 foot tank. They just look soooo unhappy, lol.

As far as your question goes, I have heard that emporers can get more aggressive with age. But almost all of them were with other large angels. If you keep him/her full, there should be less of a prey drive. I think you should be good, and good luck with these beautiful fish. Post some pics if u can!!
