I had a Flame Angel for over an year without touching the coral, one day I decided to slow down the feeding routine and the Angel started picking on SPSs. It didn't seem to touch LPS. Increasing feeding back hasn't solved and I had to get rid of the fish.

Two kinds of flame Angels. Those that pick at your corals, and those that are about to start. Options are to remove fish, remove corals, or just live with it.

I had a beautiful gorgonian that constantly had its polyps extended and was growing rapidly until kh flame angel decides he was going to try eating coral. Now he picks at repeatedly and I havent seen its polyps in at least a month. It's really sad to watch it die but sadly the flame angel doesn't pick at anything else and is my fav fish so I won't be getting rid of it. Do you think it may also pick at future sps I will get? Is there any way to make him stop? If there is I'd really love to know!
my just got done eating my Gonipora and it was growing great it stinks sorry to here that
