Potter's Angel - reef safe?
 

Have hydroids, room for another fish and keep thinking of Delphinus post in this thread.

Read that they can be hit and miss re: being reef safe but looking for peoples experiences.

Interested too. Been thinking of getting a Potter's and now to hear they might eat hydroids?....bonus!

I voted "yes totally."

I guess with any angel there's always the "it varies by individual" thing, but I've now had two potter's angels (the first I lost in a tank move incident when I moved into my current house :( Man I miss that fish, she was one of the nicest I'd ever seen.)

Anyhow, both were model reef tank citizens. I have clams, I've had SPS in there (they are not the reason I don't have SPS - I'm pretty sure :) ), LPS, softies ... never had a cause for concern.

To be fair I don't know 100% that my potter's is the reason I don't see hydroids. But it is true that I did used to have a lot of hydroids and for whatever reason, I don't see them anymore. Might be the potter's, might be the CBB. I haven't tried the experiment yet to see if either of them will pick at them. :redface:

I also say "Yes, totally". Never a problem with mine.

I have one in my frag tank..........so yes.

Thanks everyone.

A little worried about the clam but getting one.

voted yes
Have had one for six mounths no problem, even with clams.
