    The guy started picking on one of my softies so I had to move him to another tank. Are there any types of corals that dwarf angels won't pick on?

    About the only thing I can think of is an anemone being defended by a big maroon. (yes, technically not a coral)

    Some will pick at everything, some at nothing, some at a couple corals and not others, and some will never pick and years later decide they like the taste of everything in the aquarium. It is something you have to accept when housing any kind of angel in a reef tank.

    How bad is the damage? My flame seems to prefer to swim by and take a little pick out of all my hard corals before swimming away. Being he is alone and I have enough coral and rock the picking is so spread out that there is no damage to any of the corals and they all extend their polyps normally

    Get rid of the lemonpeel and get a yellow mimic tang. =)
