$40 flame angel vs. $200 watermelon

Easy decision. He wasn't worthy of the flush.

I've had a coral beauty in my 125 for a couple of years...all kinds of corals and a clam...never had any serious issues.

The coral beauty never even nipped the clam?

I have a 3" juvenile emperor angel coming in on Monday. I am going to chance it and see how it goes. I plan on QTing for a few weeks, but i'll update on here when it goes into the DT. anybody have one of these in your reef tank?

My lfs had a pair of cherubs for 70 but they were picking on pocillopora so I didn't get them

I had a regal in my 350, was doing great, getting along with everyone but he ate my red hornet colony one day and then started picking at sps a lot. my colonies arent that big yet so I traded him out. I plan on getting a majestic and maybe another regal or emperor. I would not recommend getting an angel unless your tank is very established and has healthy large colonies in case they do decide to eat your corals.

Never has touched the clam (knock on wood, LOL). It use to pick at my Elegance before it outgrew the tank and I sold it, but never did any noticeable damage to it.

I had a rock beauty angel in my 125g sps dominated mixed reef. It was 3.5yrs old when it carpet surfed : ( never touched a thing the entire time. I would have been hesitant with a clam though, but who knows.

Had a number of Angels in my 700 reef and even though my corals were growing and colorful the would not flower. Finally broke down 3 weeks ago and moved all my angels to my fish tank and now I see my sps starting to bloom.

Bump for any others out there and a quick question for regal owners. I have a opportunity to pick up a red sea regal angel that has been in a holding system for over 2 weeks. It's eating mussels and pellets like crazy. No shipping needed so not only would it he a quick pick up and no stress with shipping, but I'd see it eat! Here's my issue: if it's eating mussels that good, then my clams would be definitely on the menu I assume right? Thanks y'all

Anything soft and fleshy is fair game for any angel. If they are not eating your softies its just because they havent figured it out yet. All of my angels eat clams and anything else soft. However, clams is their favorite food and I bet even my tangs would tear a live one apart if i put it in the tank now since they eat frozen clams all the time. Even my tangs have learned to graze slime off of the sps. They learn to eat from other fish and after they figure it out any Angel will eat almost anything in your tank. My big Emperator eats a quarter of an inch at a time when he decides to graze an sps. However, in my experience, Angels and Butterflies as well are reef safe with SPS. They will all learn to eat just about anything soft and fleshy. I have caught mine grazing on a leather coral and gorgonians as well. I hate to repost this video, but here are some angel pics if you havent seen them in another thread. Notice in all my videos, the fish graze constantly and they pick at everything. They have learned to do this over the years. It takes a new fish a couple months to figure it out but they all do eventually and then most of them get very omnivorous.
