    I just want to get my Cherub Angel out of the tank...LOL...He doesnt bother anything in the tank, just my small perc, who was the very first inhabitant that was put in the tank.

    Is it alright if they occasionally nip at the corals? or is this something that really should be avoided at all costs?

    In my 20 long, my Coral Beauty occasionally - rarely - nipped at my Montipora Digi's - they were ok with that.

    I also have a cherub angel, and I haven't seen him nip at any of my corals, hard or soft, but he does pick at the rocks and walls alot. I have yet to see him come near any of my corals. I have never had a flame or a coral beauty so no help there

    Angels are funny animals, some are good, some are not, and some good ones go bad eventually!!!!!!

    Bump....I was going to ask the question and found this thread. Guitarman did you ever get one of these, if so did you have any luck with either of them?

    With any Centropyge your taking a risk by putting one in a reef tank. I believe that their beauty and personality is worth the risk though.
