Yup, certainly a hit or miss fish. That said, I have seen many tanks with great success introducing their flame angel. Be caution though, recently one of our reefer had a tough time catching his flame angel as it was nipping at hes corals. Finally managed to catch it, and i think he just sold it off in pasa malam! Great beauty, pity it was a coral nipper, or i would have got it too!

End of day...hit or miss. lol. Your call if its worth the risk bro, since its driving you mad! :thumbsup:

 

I Love Stagsss

Yes. It's one of my favorite fish. I've tried 4 of them. All not reef safe. Already given up for a reef tank. I will get one soon for my lion and japanese dragon moray tank.

Mine has so far just nipping algae on the tank wall and the rocks (not sure what it eats from the rocks). I think (just my guess) when the things it currently eat is scarse it will try alternative (which is corals).

i keep an SPS dominated tank and i have kept a flame for more than a year already. i got it as a juvi and at the start, i sometimes see it nipping some of my sps during the time my tank and corals were not doing well (STN) but shortly and eventually he behaved after i managed to get my tank stable and my SPS back to good health. i read somewhere that flame angels tend to nip on coral/SPS tissues that are not healthy and i tend to believe that due to my experience. by the way, my tank is 5 x 2 x 2 and i would say that my taking the risk of adding it to my tank paid off.

what if the tank is fed 3xcubes of mysis +3x NLS Pellets?..What if i empty my frag tank put a normal brown acro and normal zoas to try out?.

Well fed fishes tend to pick on corals lesser if it has the tendency to do it. Even if you feed alot there is really no guarantee your flame would not peck at your corals, be it sps or lps. from experience, spses are generally safe with flame angels just expect lesser PE if your flame does start nipping on the spses. LPS is where it becomes 50/50. It becomes a downward spiral as the flame picks on it, the LPS recede, starts to die slowly and this will really attract not just your flame angel to finish it off.

For putting it in a frag tank, I shall say if it does not touch the acro or zoas, Murphys Law always knock on our tanks. the moment you put the fish inside, it could possibly have a liking for other corals. much like different corallivores have their favoured corals to munch on.

however reall up to you bro. less PE and own a beautiful flame angel or PE waving to you but no beautiful flame angel. :thumbsup:

just to add to what bombom has said, it is natural for angels to nip on anything, rubble, rock, coral base, etc. even if they are fed very well they will still nip. what you suggested to do sounds like a good idea and may save you from difficulty of catching the flame in case it turns out to show a liking to your sps and zoas. good luck.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
