Re: feedback on flame angelfish

I have never had a problem with them nipping on corals. But then again, each one is different.

Re: feedback on flame angelfish

Yea... not so much in taking taking chunks out, but the SPS are closed a lot of the time... It was a green open brain and a candycane... I move those to my nano and they're doing much better...

Re: feedback on flame angelfish

only thing is catching him may be a pain in the a** later... that's why I just moved my LPSs rather than move the angel...
