FLAME ANGEL FiSH, please advise.

[neker]

Hi fellow reefers, recently I purchased a frag of strawberry shortcake acro and I noticed that my flame angel is nipping at it, I have this fish for two years already and I never see him bothering my SPS, I try the bottle fish trap and others methods but nothing, any advise on how to catch him will be appreciate it.

could he be nipping at dead tissue or algae being its a new frag?

could he be nipping at dead tissue or algae being its a new frag?

+1... It could be 'cleaning' the coral

I wish he was just cleaning the corals but not.

I have a flame angel and at first I thought he was nipping as well but hes not he was actually picking at dead tissue or cleaning algae.. Give it some time don't jump to a conclusion right away

how often do you feed ? try to keep him well fed. +1 may only nipping at dead tissue

is my favorite fish and I really don't want to get rid of it but after what I saw I don't think I will keep it, I feed him twice a day but he still nipping at my sps, the problem is how I catch him?

Any angel has the possibility of nipping on our corals. Thats one reason i have not purchased one and trust me i was really tempted....
