Well Josh you will be the one giggling if this guy dies on me! I guess it pays to be an early riser. Glad to hear your Angel quit nibbling. I feed Nori to this tank at least 2 X per day already (1/2 sheet each feeding) so I may have to step it up. I don't have any LPS in the tank - just SPS and a few mushrooms, hitch hiker zoos, and rics. I am going to put a few clams in there which I will put on a base of some kind (shell) so they can be easily removed if they start getting nibbled. Fortunately I have my 230g and 44g cube that also have adequete lighting for a clam.

Ruth,

Later, when you get clams, maybe consider building an eggcrate cage to keep the angel from nibbling on it. After all, it seems that when a new specimen is added into a tank with an angel, that seems to be the time of greatest risk. This way, the clam can get used to the tank & the angel can get used to the clam, with a much lower risk factor.

Just a thought.

Anthony

Thanks Anthony - good thought and I already have an eggcrate cage built although once the Angel is in the tank I don't think he will go willingly into the cage. I actually have the clams coming up at the same time as the Angel so they will go into the tank together. If he does start munching on them they will either come out and go into my other tank or I may just build a couple of small egg crate cages to go around the clams!

Haha. I guess I wasn't that clear. The clams should go into the protective cage, so the angel can't nip them.

My bad.

Anthony
