SRC Member digibee Posted April 19, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi James, I think it is by luck; Or you buy from other reefers who has already proven non-nipping angel; but then again; their behaviour may change in different tanks. By the way, my african flameback angel from another reefer does not disturb my corals; though she (I think is a she) chase any other fish now and then. Quote () Happy will do ...

Terryz_ Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 With LPS, it is not a confirm chance... They sooner or later will take a chance with eating corals... With softies, it is more possible.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 K. May drop off the idea of having dwarf angel liao . Your Prata and Acan might be the first to go if you have nipping Angels... You can try FA, Cherub, Flameback and Potteri.... Others more prone.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member jyoon Posted April 19, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi James Japanese Angels seem to have less interest in corals. Like Watanabe, Bellus, JP Swallow...etc. If you have precious coral, my 2 cents, drop the idea of angels. They normally cannot be trusted. If "die die" must have a dwarf angel , then maybe Argi angel (some even call it fireball angel if I am not wrong). However Argi Angel is aggressive against fishes smaller then it and also need to be the last fish in your tank else they can chase new comer.

Hi Bro, what is the market price for small Watanabe, Bellus, JP Swallow? Have search through the web and found that they are pretty safe for reef tank so may introduce either pair if they are not that pricy lor. Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
