flame angel in a 10g with inverts?

[fishcatch22]

hi, all! I just set up my new 10g marine tank, and I just plopped a peppermint shrimp and a turbo snail in there. man, it's cycling fast! it's been up only 2 days and already it's in the nitrite spike stage. that live rock works wonders! soon it will be ready for fish, and originally I was planning on getting a percula clown and then later a firefish, but when I was in my LFS buying the inverts, a pretty young flame angel caught my eye. my SW aquarium book says they are good beginner fish and grow to be around 4" long. my questions are: 1. will I, greenhorn to marine, be able to keep one in a 10g? 2. will it grow larger than 4"?
3. will it be safe with my chosen inverts? 4. does it have any special dietary requirements?

A 4" fish is a little to big for a 10g IMHO. They are safe with inverts, but may nip at corals. They need a varied diet, with plant matter being aprieciated.

so, I could feed it marine flakes and lettuce? and I might upgrade sometime in the future.

OK, says in a profile here that they get to be 6". well, guess i'm going back to my original plan, then... (SIGH)

it doesnt so much matter how big they get as mush as it does how much they swim. Flame angels swim a lot around your tank, and they would be too confined in such a small tank, even if you get a super small one.
