Angels and SPS

[viperfish]

You're taking your chances with Angels, Dwarf or the Large species, they're all very unpredictable. I do have a Bicolor in my SPS tank and no issues. I have a Keyhole Angel in my LPS/Softie tank and It does pick at Zoas but it hasn't affected my colonies enough to be concerned.

I've got a Queen in my tank, mostly well behaved. If it's hungry, it will pick the occasional polyp off of one colony in particular. No visible damage though, so I just try to keep the tank well fed.

I have a regal angel, 2 potters angels and a black angel and all 4 eat sps.....mostly the acros although they will occasionally pick at my pocillipora and montipora too

My flame angel doesn't touch corals. My Queen Angel loves chalices and acans. My king and Regal angels like SPS. My clown tang likes zoas

Gessshhhh...

I had no idea that they would eat SPS though until I saw the flame nip at one that I've had for a year and was mysteriously dying....

I guess I'll either have to give up the angels or make a fish only tank with them in it and a few corals they won't eat!

Thanks for the input.

Perfect example of how each individual is different. Mine never touches chalice or acans.

I have / had in the past. Fisheri, Flame and a Coral Beauty and I've never seen any of them touch a thing.

I remember ready some where that he never had issues with them eating the SPS... then again, that guy has so many SPS that he wouldn't even notice!
