No one told me that Flame Angels eat coral!

[RyanHoan]

Just kidding. I took a risk and it did NOT pay off ;Nailbiting


I'm sure that this has been asked a million times, but which reef safe fish has the same "POP" factor as a flame angel!?

I'm out of ideas!

Thank you

I like wrasses. They really color up a tank.

What did your Flame develop a taste for?

 

[RyanHoan]

It swims around and picks at all the SPS. no favorite in particular

Which wrasses do you like?


I was looking into a Hawaii Flame Wrasse, but I hear they're real devils.

 

[jerrod]

On my to buy list rhomboidalis wrasse, and flasher wrasse, or a Scott’s fairy wrasse.

Yep, you heard me, Ron.

I know a local reefer who is trying to sell his because it keeps killing his other fish.

what other fish?

 

[RyanHoan]

His other wrasses and Anthias. Says it's like Tammy #1 and Tammy #2 combined.

Fish are individuals too .... flame wrasses have never been a problem in my tanks ... well, other than jumping out .

Curious about the flame though. Most of them will nip a bit, but rarely do significant damage. It’s usually the human that’s the problem LOL.

I have a Carpenters wrasse and just got a red headed solon wrasse and a Melanarus wrasse. Very unique and different colors on all of them.

Pyramid Butterfly. (Multiples may be kept.)

That's crazy on flame. I have three tanks and one in each and NO issues whatsoever with them.

+1... have always had flame angels in my tanks since 1973! What looks like ‘picking at coral’ is often them ‘cleaning’ the coral of algae or dead/dying tissue... never had any real damage done.

Mine approaches to steal loose food and then gone- never returns to the coral

That does it! I'm getting a flame wrasse

good call, sounds like a one off bad actor.

rogue sixline wrasse must've snuck in there to spawn with it's parent

 

[Crustaceon]

Also have a flame angel, but it ignores my sps. Weird.

This sounds exactly like my experience with a saddle valentini “corncobbing” my acro frags. Some couldn’t care less. Not mine.
