would the nitrates have elevated if the caulerpa had gone sexual?
according to live aquaria, Flame Angels are very sensitive to elevated levels of copper over .15 ppm. Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine...
so do you add copper to the QT as a preventative or did the flame angel show signs of illness?
personally, i would leave it and closely monitor the coral. if it looks like the coral is taking a lot of damage, then i would remove it.
i agree they are best left in the ocean but then they would not be under anyone's care.
