F/S or F/T Rusty Angelfish and Orange Tail Butterfly

[Dag]

It turns out these fish are not compatible with a reef tank.

Selling for $35 each, or trade for corals.

Looks like a Chaetodon xanthurus.

FYI - the Rusty Angelfish may be fine in a reef. The pygmy angels such as this one are generally labeled as reef-safe, but there are occassional bad ones that will nip at corals. If you havent seen yours nip at anything you are likely ok to keep it.

orange tailed is often a common name used regarding c.xanthurus, c. collare, c.pelewensis, c.punctatofasciatus, c. paucifasciatus, and c.mertensi.

it cant get confusing

dag, what corals was it nipping at?

[GrandeGixxer]

Do you know if the Rusty is M or F?

+1 on what it was nipping at?

[Dag]

It wasn't nipping at anything 'cause I didn't put it in the tank yet.

Don't know if it's a male or female.

The picture is what I have.

I'm near Touhy and California.
