I have a coral beauty angel and love him. I also want a flame angel... I heard you cant keep multiple angels unless ou have a big enough tank.
I have a 75... Tell me what you think.

It's all about food, acclimation and training.

from my experience you will have some agression between the 2. I keep both these angels in my well-fed 245 gallon. I used an acclimation box and they still fought whenever they were near each other.

I have to agree.  These fish are very territorial and a 75 gallon tank just isn't large enough for both.

Can't say regarding keeping a large and pygmy together but most of the pygmy's will not tolerate each other.

I have kept a Flame Angel and a Pygmy Angel (both in the dwarf angelfish family, Centropyge) together in a 75 without any problems at all. That said, my tanks are never the common reef aquariums. This particular tank was in an East facing window with plenty of algae growth for those two, plus there were two large Tangs, a 5" Yellow and a 5" Purple.

Here is one pic of the tank at night.


Here it is from the end with the sunlight coming in from the left.
(Gorgonia from FL are under-appreciated in the hobby.)
