angels
 

Does anyone own Anglefish from the Pomacanthus family. Juvenile or adult?

I've got an Emperor angel, adult. Loves eating the LPS (so they're separated) but I haven't seen him bother the SPS.

How long have you had the fish. Was it a juvie when you got him?

Had him for about a year and a half, and he was a juvenile when we got him.

What all did he eat, Mitch? I mean corals-wise.

As a juvenile, he didn't bother any corals. As he grew, he developed a taste for the LPS - open brain, caulestrea, sometimes the closed brain. (so he's now sitting in my sump)
Beautiful fish, though! :smile:

No SPS, but I have a 4-5 inch Queen & juv. Koran in with my LPS & soft corals. Never touch 'em, although they & the tangs are hard on my caulerpa fields :biggrin: They also leave my red halimenia (macro-algae) alone.

Do you have clams in your tank?

What's your plan for the Emperor? Any plans on getting rid of it? :biggrin:

If you go through the Tanks of the Month on reefcentral.com you will see a few people who have had large tanks with large angels and a variety of corals - esp. sps - no mention of angels eating up the corals - I don't remember exact details, but these were BIG tanks.
