Should I remove him?

[Michael Cabral]

I have had a flame angel for about 5 months now and he is very curious. I had like 3 corals with him for 2 months and he was fine with them but I just got a bunch more corals and I find he is nipping algae very close to the corals so should I find him a new home or is there any other suggestions.

Is he nipping coral? Or cleaning them for you?

@saltyfilmfolks he is not touching them but algae around them

Sounds like you may have made him very happy then. He is a grazer. Don't be surprised if you don't ever have aptasia too.

Id keep it if he nips coral then take it out. But it' much easier now while it' not fully stocked to take him out as opposed to having a ton of coral grown in.

all grazers will nip at algae next to coral. It is when they are nipping the coral that it is an issue, like my CBB who needs a new home :(
