![]() Well, here's another one of 'these' questions ...
I'm looking for experiences with Flame Angels - How often and how much do/did you feed your angel ? - Do/did you have any issues with yours being a coral eater, or a bully ? |

![]() I have been owning the flame angel since I got into this saltwater hobby. In my experience and as everybody knows, there is a miss and hit about them, no guarantees. The one I am having right now has never touched any corals, but extremely bully with any fish, especially if they have a smaller size than him. And as I have learned so far, this fish should be the last one introduced into your tank. About feeding, I feed twice a day, I don't like to torture my fish

![]() I recently lost a flame angel, not sure why (only fish to go missing).
He ate pellets twice per day and on the odd day I'd feed frozen. Added a real component to the tank, he was by far one of the more stunning creatures in the tank. I'm not sure if I'd get another one though, my polyp extension is AMAZING!!! I never witnessed him pick at corals, but it's quite obvious that he did. |

![]() My cherub was well behaved, he will be missed, from what I've read and IME they are fairly safe, i hear mixed reactions on flames though

![]() I've had mine almost from the beginning. He's never bullied any other fish and right now is best buds with my kole tang. But as I've added more and more sps, he seems to be taking a liking to nipping the ends

![]() Anyone else ???
I know I'm playing with 'fire' with a 'flame' angel ... Or, any other substitutes for a nice red fish would be welcome ![]() I've even thought about a longnose hawk, and I won't keep shrimps But, I have a 2" goby, so, for now, that's out ... Also on the list is a highfin perchlet, but neither are as nice as a flame angel ![]() |
