Flame angel acro safe?
 
I'm looking to get a flame angel for my acro tank but I would like to hear from people who've had them before.
If you had one that started to eat corals:
- what type of corals did it start nipping at? LPS/Softies/SPS?
- have you seen one nip at acro polyps?

I had one in my 62 gaL TANK Loved the Digita that i had they are hit and miss. IMO

My flame is 5 years old and has never touched my SPS, LPS, zoos or clams.

I had a flame angel that loved picking at small polyps on anything (sps, softies) never actually damaged anything but the small polyped corals no longer opened during the day.

Hi Chin

I have had a Flame Angel in my 180G for 4 years, I have never seen him pick at any of my corals. They add great colour to your tank.

Hey Chin,
I had one in my old tank for around a year. It was a model citizen, that didn't pick at anything at all. If you have a frag tank now, I would give it a test run there.
Cheers,
Caleb

i still have one that ate a lobophyllia and zenia but left everything else. i'm worried though when i transfer him if it will attack sps

First one i had pick my acros badly, second one i had never touched them. I think all dwarf angels are hit and miss. I've read some people have them for a long time then all of a sudden they either start picking at corals or they stop. for what its worth most places list them reef compatible with caution.
