So where would the fish go next?

Anyway....that's just the way I see it...

I have a polyp eating regal angel, the polyps on my sps grow back. It takes awhile though

I have the tassled version of filefish in my aggressive/predator tank..they eat anything and are doing great...you have a real pretty fish there though, hope it does as well as mine are....keep the updated pics coming.

Very cool fish, I don't think I've ever seen one before.

I have 2 of them and although they are not very colourful they are very cool looking..Not for reef tanks at all though. I was told this when I got them at King Eds..they were really small but they are growing well..one of my favorite fish's...

Interesting... I would of thought some would grow back. If his polyps don't grow back I'm guessing he'll need to eventually buy some more sps.

Did your angel only eat sps or did it eat other food as well? Just curious as to why your sps grew back while EmilyB's didn't.

Not "did"...does. I still have her
She eats everything. Her mouth is getting big enough now that when she takes a bite of an sps (actually just the acros) she can remove 2 or 3 polyps, tissue and some of the skeleton. I do have a lot of corals though and she doesn't just pick on 1, she roams the tank picking on them all so there is time for the coral to grow back before she comes visiting again

Oops sorry I knew you still had her not sure why I wrote did instead of does. Thanks for the info. I'm glad she spreads it out so your sps have a chance to somewhat recover before the next bite.
