    Ive Had my Flame in mine for about 3 months now, she has been a little "angel" so far. Picks at asterina stars and the occasional snail and knocks them of the glass but doesn't eat them.

    I have a lemon peel and he is fine with all of my coral except he nips at my pulsing zenia.

    So Steve what did you do with your coral beauty that was nipping on your leather?
    My coral beauty seems to nip on xenia every once in few hours. Should I remove it asap or observe it a little bit more? Or is this nipping every once in few hours ok?

    my Cherub Angel is very good with my sps, lps, and clam he leaves everything alone but if he did end up picking at the corals he wouldnt do any damage because his mouth is so small, i also feed 3 times a day to make sure he stays full so he wont even think about coral.

    I also had a lemmon peel hybrid for a little while he liked SPS and once in a while my clam but he left softies and LPS alone

    This topic continually comes up and I think it would be nice to have as many posts as possible to really get an idea as to how well these fish behave in reef tanks.

    I had a Coral beauty angel. I didn't have it in a reef, but planned to. I do remember it eating a fan worm. So I don't know whether or not I will get another CB for my reef. :/
