mikedelgado Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 nice size fat flame angel for sale, $30. Had for years in my reef setup.I busted him today nipping on a bad looking spot on one of my clams. I am not sure if he caused the spot or not. He isnt paying attention to any of my other clams but I am not taking any chances on my fav clam. He is in my sump right now waiting for a new clamless home . thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Does he nip SPS? I'm betting if he'll hit a clam, he'll take out SPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what is was, but the angel loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what is was, but the angel loved it. I was just reading that some tangs will pick at LPS to get them to excrete excess symbiotic algae, it is like candy to the fish. I bet that is what the angel was doing. The same source also said the LPS is generally not damaged, and I would assume the same goes for your zoas.
