Great! When can I stop by to pick up that half-eaten Pocillpora and Green Slimer? ;D
I would say irritating the crap out of them. No can do with another tank. Going to the reptile expo in Hamburg PA tomorrow. My son already has plans to buy some type of lizard. He wanted a snake but the wife said no way and agreed to a small lizard. Little does she know. He already has 5 tortoises and takes care of of my daughter's 3 water turtles while she is in college. Plus my tank, bearded dragon, gecko, dog, and 2 cats. Now you know why my wife will tell me no or send me to the hospital.
Patriot,
Well juv angel and dwarf angel aren't quite the same. Almost all full angels (adult and juv) will EAT SPS coral. A few exceptions but almost all need it in their diet. Dwarf angels are about 50-50. Coral Beauty, Flame Angel, Potter's are not known to eat corals, but they will taste things. Usually they see food on the polyps and nip at it since they are grazers. I said in another thread that my hippo tang does the same thing. He's just a pig in general and will taste/eat just about everything. He likes to nip my leather toadstool and steal food from my sebae anemone.

thanks for clarifying. are you trying to talk me into adding Coral Beauty or Flame Angel. just kidding. i do love both of these fish and would love to add one, but I have been trying avoid any potential problem fish as there is no way i could ever remove a fish from my tank.
The solution is very very simple. Two tanks. One reef, one FOWLR.
Coral Beauty is almost always safe. I saw one the other day and the markings on it were so much nicer than mine. They're cheap too, think they're the cheapest angel. It depends on how many SPS you have. The term reef safe when talking about fish usually refers to SPS only. Keyword though is usually. What coral in your tank are you worried about? What other fish is in there? I actually want to get a golden angel but they're pretty rare and not that easy to acclimate. I also would like a Potter's. They look real nice under MH. But alas, I got 2 dwarves in a 90 and people say I should be lucky enough to have that.

they are pretty. I have a CB do you think I could add a potters? 150 gal.
I was told by lfs that potters like to nip at clam mantles I have 2 nice clams and don,t want to chance it but thanks for the reply.

Do you leave nori in the tank? Fatten it up and maybe it will lose interest in your corals.
How many of you guys with dwarf angels keep clams? And if you do, how long have the 2 co-existed? I love them, they are so pretty, but I just won't chance it.
