We're going to need more info, how long have you had the flame angel? What other tank mates do you have? Do you have a protien skimmer? Angels are more prone to suffer when there is low oxygen levels, which would happen at night

Also How long has your tank been setup??

Also,
Size of tank
and, how high did your tank temps get during this heat spell (if you had one).
My normally 80 degree tank ramped up to 85 on two seperate days and one person told me their tank hit 90. That's quite a spike for some marine species.

i have a 55 that has been running for 5 months, it has 2 fire fish, 2 fire shrimp, a rescued scooter blenny, a purple orhird dotty back, for coral i have some xenia, frog spawn, a little fingle leather, 4 feather dusters, and some zoos. it is very possible that my tank over heated my apt is very hot. ido run a protien skimmer and i have a fluval for extra filtration. i have been doing more water changes than normal because i am dealing with some red slime right now. and i was just informed that one of my featerdusters has dropped its plume, it had 2. i did add things slowly, i dont undertand.

How often are you changing your water and how much are you changing each time??

Do you not have a thermometer for the tank?
Time to get one ASAP if you don't.

thanks fishguy52, i like to think that i am taking care of my tank well. i have tested for eveything and it all is fine exept for my calcium was low. and i check that often so it dropped quite quickly. and the other wierd thing is that i am getting the best coraline algea growth now. i am so confused. this is getting hard on me i loved that angel
