Regal vs. Scoly

[nauti1us]

I know that a Regal Angelfish can and will take a liking to zoas... but has anyone found their Regal picking or nipping at their Scoly (acanthophyllia)..?

Mine did a pretty good job of nipping until you could actually see the white skeleton showing through. I pulled the Scoly out and put it into a Q Tank so it could recover, which it did... sad that I can't put it back into the main display tank. Mine is a Bleeding Apple Scoly... Prolly gonna have to sell it.... :(

They definitely like to nibble on meaty lps corals :(

I've never kept a Regal, but I've kept plenty of dwarf angels over the years and they were all hit or miss as far as picking at LPS.

That sucks :(
Do dwarf angels pick at only LPS or are sps fair game also?

This may be more of luck than anything but I have had 2 dwarf angels now and never had a problem with nipping. What I've noticed is that when they decide to nip they go after my colt coral/kenya tree first. So I either feed him at that point our just let him nip it.
