flame angels

[Samw]

Anyone have good or bad experiences with Flame Angels together with Maxima clams?

I need some new hermit crab shells. Where's a good place to get some besides asking for freebies from the fish shop?

When I had my flame angel it never touched my Maxima clam, or any other coral, except...

It had an appetite for my Green Open Brain coral. Would constantly pick at it, to the point I had to move the Brain into my Eclipse 12 gallon tank because it was so receeded due to the constant irritation.

Apparently Flame Angels have an affinity for Brain corals. If you don't have any, you'll most likely be fine. But there is never a guarantee with any Angel fish.

They sure are pretty though.

Talk about each angel fish has different personality :-) When I had my flame angel, it constantly nipped at my crocea. I had to take the flame back to LFS. It was the day that flame angel was still cheap($40) and crocea was expensive(over $100).
