    I have always loved the lemmons but I know they are the worst when it comes to corals and are known fin nippers, so I never got one.

    I have been looking into the hybrids, DD has one that I really like but can't afford it right now.

    Do you think a Lemmon hybrid would be less prone to nipping at corals and not as aggressive, DD lists theirs as semi-aggressive which would be ok for my tank.

    So do you think they would stand a better chance in a reed than the pure lemmons?

    I don't think it will be any less likely to nip.

    Eh... As far as im aware with most angelfish its hit or miss. Youd probably have to find one thats behaving for the most part or take a chance.

    yea i was hoping that with the other speciesv would help out a little, but i still dont know
    i might be willing to take a chance at a hybrid but still not 100% sure
    might be willing to take a chance, i really dont have that many corals, all of mine are just big

    lol it's an ok looking clam, certainly not in love with it though i kind of like the hybrids more than the clam, just dont know how much damage it would do to my other corals, a little nipping shouldnt harm any of them but if they shred them apart, then yea
