Anyone have experience with Lamarcks Angels nipping at corals?

[Dolphins18]

I have a lamarcks angel who is picking on LPS. Anyone else run into this before?
It isn't shredding them as some angels have done in the past, but it is bothering them.

Yes. I bought one about 6 months ago. Very young. I thought perfect size. Proceeded to start pounding my acans. Back to the store he went.

Ill give this one a few days but he will likely have the same fate as yours if he/she keeps it up

It did eat everything I offered. But just would not leave some of my corals alone. A friend of mine has a pair that are perfect residents. So I think it’s just one of those things when it’s the individual fish.

It's very occasional, I might notice it once every few days. I have been watching him for the last 2 hours and only seen him do it once. It started after a flameback (which has been moved) started ripping at LPS, now the lamarcks does but seems to lose interest after one bite. Time will tell if it seriously affects the corals.

My swallowtail likes to eat Acros and stylos.

I've had and have tangs that nip at fleshy green LPS. Nothing is set in stone with any fish in this hobby....
