I have a 160 inch x 24 inch x 24 inch tank, with about netto 350 gl water and a mixed coral type setup.
Next to my tangs, wrasse, pyramid butterflies and other reef safe fish, i have these beauties but I suspect some of them not being nice to some corals... Which one to keep, which one to go ?
· Centropyge Flavissimi
· Centropyge Acanthops
· Centropyge Loricula
· Centropyge Multicolor
· Centropyge Bicolor
· Centropyge Eibli
· Centropyge Bispinosa
 
Flame Angel's just killed $1000s in acro colonies in my tank. Never again. Good luck getting them out. I'm at a dang near total loss.
 
That's a long list of possible suspects there for coral nipping in such a large tank. Of the bunch here are your most likely suspects:

Lemon Peel (Flavissima)
Eibli aka Red Striped
Bicolor

They tend to have a worse track record than the other ones mentioned (although they are all suspects at this point).
 
Agreed that flavissima and bicolor are the likliest suspects, but all dwarf angels can nip.
 
Why not set up a web cam and figure out who is doing this by catching them in the act?

That would be the best way to do it. Then you know for sure who is the problem and not just randomly kicking fish out of your tank.
 
Possible it’s all of them. They do learn from each other. But I do love the fact that you have so many. I love dwarf angels. I wish I could have them. I’d love to see a picture of your tank.

Maybe this might help. You'll also see the softies that keep closed...:
