    Congrats for the addition, I'd be careful with the Flame Angel. Mine picked at my corals and became quite aggressive. But your call...

    Just yesterday I saw my Flame nip at my new clam for the first time. This could explain why my other clam died? :confused: Anyway it made me pretty mad so I'll definitely be watching him closer

    My coral beauty nips sometimes on my Kenyia tree but thats not too big a deal. I havent seen it nipping on any of the zoas, muchrooms or any of my LPSs.

    Stay away from the leopard wrasse the Coral beauty is 99.% safe But a leopard wrasse will tear a sand bed up and if you don't have a sand bed it will not last long and they love little snails and I have seen them go after shrimp and some other coruscations . And all in all not a easy fish to keep now this is if you are referring to a leopard wrasse aka (Macropharyngodon bipartitus) To many LFS sling around common names that they do not know what they have even ,

    ive also got a coral beauty, and he is one of my favorite fish. He does nip at only one piece of sps in my tank, but not enough to harm it. Plus, ide rather have him nip at that branch then at all my other corals. I love him, very warm and colorful fish, and ALWAYS active swimming all over the tank.
