Flame Angel Reef Safe?

[Reefie]

So far, we have a tie.
1 FOR
1 AGAINST

I have owned two, my current one is not reef safe. Loves to nip everything. My previous one was SPS safe but clam and LPS unsafe.

As tony said, it's more to do with the individual fish rather than the type of fish in many cases. I have a Regal tang that is starting to develop a taste for clams. Plus, now that my Purple Tang has seen my Regal Tang nip at clams my Purple Tang is starting to get in on the clam nipping action Most people would consider both fish reef safe :-)

Not their fault, i blame on your clams beauty which attract them.

About flames angel i think it is a miss and hit so if you feel lucky go with it. I have mine and they nip here and there but i don't care

Mine is never touching anything, maybe I am just lucky.

I have a Flame and a Potter's, both are reef safe. But as others stated, it is a gamble, beautiful fish if you wish to take the chance.

I have a coral beauty it's never touched anything but..... I think it's 50/50 at best depends on the individual fish

Haha you guys are making it TOUGH for me!

I was hoping for a clear and definite majority.

Normally I woudn't care one way or another, but these fish are soooooooo beautifully coloured, with lots of personality and livelyhood.

I blame it all on Carrera75 for tempting me with a non-nipping one! Haha!
