For me it's Angels small ones, large ones love them all. Can't risk them chowing on my LPS and SPS. I tried a flameback once...nipped at my open brain LPS so he had to go back.

You dont want an Achilles..... severe PAIN.

You have to feed them 4 times a day in small amounts to keep them happy and not breakout with ich. Big time all day grazers

I dont believe that to be true. I personally know a couple of users who both have this fish with no problems. Cant have ich if it's not in the system
