Angel question

[sully08]

could you recommend some softies, are there some with good color

[MKLKT]

My angel doesn't bother any of the leathers, toadstools, GSP, anthelias and mushrooms in my tank, however it DID pick at pulsing xenia until I decided to donate it to a safer home.

There are a lot of nice softies out there that are very colourful. For example, various mushrooms (purple/blue, red, green, orange, etc). Green Star Polyps can be found in various shades of green from forest to nuclear. Toadstools can be found in yellow, tan, neon yellow/green. Then of course there are zoanthids which come in every colour you can imagine.

Keep in mind a couple of things,

1. as mentioned above, an angels appetite for corals can be an individual trait. Just because one person's angel doesn't eat their zoanthids doesn't mean that yours won't!

2. Many softies can end up being quite invasive and grow to plague proportions (GSP, mushrooms, Pulsing Xenia, even zoanthids). To some this is a good thing, to others it is a bad thing. Only you can decide which side of the fence you're on.

Hope that helps.

My Majestic has yet to touch any of my SPS/ Zoa reef, great fish with some amazing color in both the adult/ juvi form. As stated though it comes down to the individual fish, dwarfs are fun too but tend to be a real hit or miss for nipping.
