    I was looking into getting one of those, and read several things that said they are one of the worst for nipping at corals and clams. But of course, it depends on that particular angel.

    I've had my Lemonpeel since my first reef tank a year and a half ago. He's so cool. He did nip at a gonipora when I first got him but he's left all the corals alone ever since. Honestly I think the gonipora was dying anyway. Fish will attack certain dying corals or clams. Here is a picture of my 2 angels the Lemonpeel and the Asphur.

    I have a lemonpeel... I love him, great fish, lots of personality... definitely a nipper... he nips at just about anything I put in my tank... He nips at the sponge, has nipped my clam, tried nipping the plate coral, but I think the plate coral stung him because he freaked out a little and hasn't touched it since... I have other LPS and SPS that he hasn't touched... I notice that he seems to nip when he hasn't been fed in a while... so I try and keep him well fed.

    I hope I'm not too late... But I had a lemonpeel. He was the most aggressive and worst behaved fish I have ever had. Terrible experience
