Not their fault, i blame on your clams beauty which attract them.

About flames angel i think it is a miss and hit so if you feel lucky go with it. I have mine and they nip here and there but i don't care

Mine is never touching anything, maybe I am just lucky.

I have a Flame and a Potter's, both are reef safe. But as others stated, it is a gamble, beautiful fish if you wish to take the chance.

I have a coral beauty it's never touched anything but..... I think it's 50/50 at best depends on the individual fish

Haha you guys are making it TOUGH for me!

I was hoping for a clear and definite majority.

Normally I woudn't care one way or another, but these fish are soooooooo beautifully coloured, with lots of personality and livelyhood.

I blame it all on Carrera75 for tempting me with a non-nipping one! Haha!

I have a Flame Angel and he is not a coral nipper. However, can't say he is a favorite fish of mine. He was not on my top 5.

Looks nice, with the bright colors, but is not as friendly or has the character and personality of some of my other fish. He is an active swimmer, but does not come up to the front of the tank to greet me (or beg for food) like some of the other fish. To me he is just an ornament.

My dad has one and its never touched anything but he only has lps, softies, and a clam

[Reefie]

Wanna sell him? Haha!

The bigger question for you is, Does he sit & stay when you tell him to? Haha! Sorry just couldn't resist.
