Flame Angel nipping at corals
Hi,
I just bought a Flame Angel last week. He has been settling in fine but both yesterday and today I have observed him nipping at my corals. Do you think he should be removed from the tank? Has anyone had experience with this? I would like to keep him if I can ,but not at the expense of my corals(few as they are at this point). Any advice appreciated! Brian

personaly I would watch to see if he keeps it up and then to see if ther corals are actualy being dammaged. I had one in my reef for a year and he ocasionaly nipped but never dammaged anything.

Ditto to what steve said. As long as everything is still extending fully or at least still looks pretty good, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for the input! I will keep an eye on it and see what happens. He seems to go after the pulsing xenia and the closed brain the most. The large xenia I have is not looking too happy right now!
Thanks, Brian

My flame angel has been pretty good. He hasn't touched any corals. All my xenia is still doing fine. I have heard though, that flame angels tend to pick at open brains. Has anybody else had any experience with open brains and flame angels? I have always wanted to get a brain, but I am scare to since I have the flame angel.

It's hit and miss as with other kinds of livestock. Flame angels are sometimes known to nip at LPS, most noted is the open brain. Not sure if they bother softies but everyfish is different.
Didn't really add to the thread at all but thats all I know, HTH.

Yep, mine nipped almost constantly at my open brain and a couple of my SPS, that's why I took mine out
