*Sigh*
 
I haven't had my new potters angel 24hrs yet and I have already discovered it's an sps nipper :twised: . At least I know hes eating :lol:


Oh well, it will be in good company with the regal angel and hopefully my corals will grow faster then they can be eaten

Bummer, sorry to hear that. I've never observed my potters to nip at SPS. Although I can't keep SPS at the moment. Hmmmmmm. Although I'm reasonably certain the potter's isn't to blame .. but still, geez it seems like an awful coincidence. :)

Maybe she's just sampling, and once accustomed to the good stuff (ie. whatever you feed them :), will prefer that over the SPS.

But darn....they sure are purty!

I can live with it, after all I still have my regal angel. I am also hoping to try and pair them up by getting another one.

I must be a sucker for punishment :lol:

sorry marie. I forgot to mention to you that your potter was returned by another customer who lost their entire sps collection to it. :twised:


:mrgreen: just kidding :mrgreen:

:rofl: , actually I don't mind.
Now that i have risen to the challenge of keeping sps I am finding my interests going back to the fish again. The sps will survive...or not :mrgreen:

hey Marie,

If you have uncounted hours to sit in front of your tank..................................... :) you may find this helps.
I had a coral beauty that was a nipper too. I used to sit on my couch in front of tank with a broom and every time the angel went to nip, I'd tap the glass. It took a week or so, but the fish learned. Freaked out the other fish though.

Just a thought.

I tried something like that with the regal angel. Now she justs thumbs her nose at me and carries on

At least this way you don't have your put your hand in your tank as often to prune, your fish will do it for you!
