Pass to me for training and I'll make sure they do touch any of your corals. :P

Just kidding.

Anyway, I'm not sure is it the way I select my flame angel or what but none of them touches my corals. I have 3 flame before now left 1. 1 die during a "OS crash" and 1 jump out of the tank.

Hrmz, care to share your "secrets" on selecting a flame angel?

Actually, It's quite simple.

1. Just keep a look out for angel fish with none "parrot" looking mouth.

2. Another point to note is that it's much simpler to start training them when they're young not to touch your corals. If you buy them at the size of 3" or so. Chances of them having the "taste" of the meaty corals in the wild is pretty high.

Note: The applies to Centropyge aka dwarf/ Pygmy angel so far.

Anyway, so far most of them that I select turns out to be none peckers.

1.5" is a good size to start with but difficult to get nowsaday. Slightly under 2" is good too and easier to find.

Size like 1.5" and fantastic colour could be found at LCK110 (depends on session) and CF (higher chance but they're more costly)

Here is my experince with FLame Angel on LPS, this fella never pecking on any of my coral on my old tank (the broken one) since he found lot's of algae to eat on the back glass and on the LR. When I put this fella back into my new tank which has no algae at all he starts pecking on my prata and othe meaty corals, I found he did this when he can't find algae or any kind of food that he can peack on it. To reduce this occcurance I bought New Life wafer that will disolve within 24 hours, I found it works this fella stop pecking my meaty corals and shift her interest to the wafer. Now the algae starts growing in my tank and seldom she her pecking on my corals again. Flame Angel is very adorable fish.
