Coral beauty question

[Mil26]

Will my coral beauty nip/eat hammer corals??

It's possible. You can't ever know for sure until it happens.

I do not have any Euphyllia, but my Coral Beauty has been a model citizen for 6 months, never picking at my other LPS or Sps. Each Angel is different, no one can say with certainty what one individual fish will develop a taste for.

Dang my Coral beauty is always picking at my rocks and glass

Yeah they pick, my does constantly at the rocks and substrate and glass, he never picks at my corals though. I feed a varied diet and pretty heavily once a day.

Ya same here well I'll just give it a try one nip at the hammer and see if I can trade to my lfs don't want to though hopefully just keeps doing what she/he's doing

All dwarf angels are hit or miss (or in my case, 100% hit). Even ones that appear fine for months can sometimes turn into a coral nipper. I have tried 5 different species of dwarf angels and had to eventually remove them all.

Mine doesn't touch any of my corals but I have pretty much all softies. Great fish and in my opinion kinda worth the risk.. but I'm a lot more into the fish than the corals.

My flame angel ate a big chunk out of my Duncan and picks at the LPS's from time to time, but twice a day feedings seem to reduce the coral nipping to negligeable. The damage he did was when he was new to the tank, no longer an issue. Like others have said, every fish is different .

So far, my flame angel only bothers the acans, my red open brain, and the Oculina robusta that came on my Florida aquacultured live rock. I have increased feeds in an attempt to compensate, but I can't say that I've seen a difference in behavior.
