Flame angelfish eating gorgonians

[Kaptain Kraken]

Hello Reef 2 Reef,
My flame angelfish has started nipping at my purple candelabra and plume gorgonian and my leptoseris. Any way to reduse nipping for the corals to heal or any other course of action such as angel resistant gorgonians or other options. if you have questions let me know.

Honestly and unfortunately now that it's had a taste it will be difficult. Only thing you can do is keep it well fed in hopes it slows down the nipping. I haven't heard of a sure fire way to stop it once it's started.

Edit: just to add I have a baby one in my tank as well with the expectation it may one day start munching but I love dwarf flame angels too much lol.

Figured it would be difficult to stop. Just weird that there’s a large ORA grubes gorgonian that it hasn’t touched.

Update I guess. The flame has eaten most of the purple candelabra gorgonian but has lost all interest purple plume and leptoseris. Probably because the purple candelabra had some injuries before the flame came in and wasnt doing well so maybe the flame finished it off.
