koran angel?

hey guys!
i recently purchased a koran angel... beautiful little thing!
anyways... LFS and internet says it might nip at corals...
just wondering does anyone know what type of corals it likes to pick at,
just for future references! to make sure to watch out for specific corals!
cheers guys!!

 

Typically LPS and SPS corals. Sometimes softies too.

 

soo pretty much all types?? how bout the LPS that has powerful stings???
cheers man

 

+1 on above by Inwall
they are true browsers and will sample anything IME corals, plants, equipement, they will taste anything they find and if they like it, they eat it all eventualy

aww k... sooo basically bad news for reef tanks then!

 

great fish, had one in a fish only tanks years ago, easy to feed, they eat everything
corals that sting may last longer but IMO the Koran would carry on nibbling and ignore the burn sensation in its mouth

awwk thanx steve... my LFS says it'll leave corals since its only juvenile? is this true?
any chance i can let get used to eating meaty foods like mysis and brine??/

 

There is always a chance, I suppose, they are just very inquisitive IME, and sometimes its not hunger as much as investigation that triggers this behaviour of coral pecking
they eat a lot of sponge matter that they pick of rocks etc and in the home reef they find similar alternatives
