    I witnessed my cherub angelfish picking at my zoanthids. Should I be worried? If I have to get rid of him whats the best method without ripping my tank apart. Also what are some cool fish for a 20 g like clownfish.

    Cherubs are prone to picking at polyped corals and the occasional clam mantle.

    Look up DIY fish traps, you can make one pretty easily out of a coke bottle. Patience is key.

    Mated pair of clownfish or a shrimp/goby pair would be pretty cool...

    Gobies, firefish, and pygmy wrasses are all great choices and are pretty cool fish! :) If you want, visit the Live Aquaria site and go into the Marine fish section and look at nano fish. Some very nice little ones to choose from.

    Cherub angelfish, though small will get too active for a 20 gallon.

    We had a Flame cardinal that was impossible to catch so we make a tiny hook and line and caught him on a piece of shrimp. IDK if it would work for an angel but hey it may work.
