I have to agree with this. He bought this fish knowing that it would eat his sps. It looks like he has provided enough sps for the fish to eat with hopes that the sps corals will withstand the damage done to them. I believe that is what he meant when he said he was planning for the best.

It's okay, I don't mind being beat up for being on the fish-hugger side...I'd hate to be on the fish-abuser side

But remember, I've been there with SPS eating fish, my Moo, the Pakistani butterfly...trust me when they eat the polyps out, they don't grow back....

So where would the fish go next?

Anyway....that's just the way I see it...

I have a polyp eating regal angel, the polyps on my sps grow back. It takes awhile though

I have the tassled version of filefish in my aggressive/predator tank..they eat anything and are doing great...you have a real pretty fish there though, hope it does as well as mine are....keep the updated pics coming.

Interesting... I would of thought some would grow back. If his polyps don't grow back I'm guessing he'll need to eventually buy some more sps.

Did your angel only eat sps or did it eat other food as well? Just curious as to why your sps grew back while EmilyB's didn't.

Very cool fish, I don't think I've ever seen one before.

I have 2 of them and although they are not very colourful they are very cool looking..Not for reef tanks at all though. I was told this when I got them at King Eds..they were really small but they are growing well..one of my favorite fish's...
