This is absolutely beautiful! Tank goals! Any issues with the Angel's nipping corals?

not really though they are very well fed though if the odd polyp went missing i doubt it would be too much of an issue

Thats fair. Ive always wanted a giant sps dominant tank full of angels and tangs, but I love acans and I hear those are generally the first to get nipped...

 

[jim_fitz]

quite a few lps in there too
at least two acan colonies
might not be everyones ideal but im not too stressed if they have the odd nip here and there
its nature after all and i really love the fish
