If you can get some sponge on live rock that it can graze.

I have a piece of LR in the QT, possibly some sponge, but the Angel ignores the rock. Today is day 3, we'll see what happens.

Dont know if anyone can help me with this but I'm wondering if my blue face angel is OK. Last 2 days he's started behaving very strangely amd just hiding in his cave and sort of shivering, he'll come out for food but doesn't seem to be out for anything else which is unusual for him. Water reads the same as ever and nothing has been added recently. I've had him for about a year. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience of this?

Any tankmates that may be bullying or dominating him? Any recent, disruptive activity in or around the tank? Any new additions to the tank? Is it hidden within the cave, avoiding light, or just near the cave for a quick retreat?

No nothing new at all and he's the most dominant thing in there by a LONG way and yeah he's hiding right in his cave

Avoiding light is often a symptom of marine velvet, in some cases, being an early indicator before other symptoms appear.

Oh dang! Will keep a close eye then! He's behaving more normally today so hopefully it was just a weird day

Please forgive me if this has been asked and answered and I know all angels are hit or miss...I badly want to add a lemon peel angel to my 75 gal mixed reef. Are lemon peel angels any worse than others as far as nipping at corals? I don't mind feeding heavily :) It would be the only angelfish in the tank. Thanks, Cindy

Yes, lemon peels are known to nip. I'm sure there are those that have better luck but I'm sure they're few.

Is this the voice of experience?

 

[tj w]

Yes mam, IME they especially like to nip at clams and fleshy LPS.

Well that sucks. Do they typically nip more than other varieties of angels or os the risk fairly consistent?

Never liked these until my girlfriend decided she did..... lol. It is actually turning into one of my favorites.

Lemonpeels are one of the riskiest species of dwarf angels because of their tendancy to nip.

Someone suggested rods for my coral beauty. I noticed they had different types of food.. what kind do you think would be best to feed.
