Trigger in sps dominated tank

Dez · #1 10-20-2009, 04:11 AM

Thanks guys.....hmmm, I'll have to rethink that one then. I definitely do not want to go catching a trigger cause it's too big. Oh well, should have build a 1000 gallon tank I guess.

Anybody else have experience with "testing" pygmy angels for nipping?

Yours isn't an sps tank though right?

I have a bicolour angel in my tank with clams, SPS, LPS and some softies. No problem...he's been a little angel. ;-)

Every angel (big or small) that I have put in my tank have been nippers. Having said that I have 3 angels in my sps tank that nip constantly (the regal angel angel even removes whole tips) and there have been no ill effects from nipping that I can see

I have no doubt they would kill any lps or clams within hours but sps seem to be made for nipping

Also, I'd like a pygmy angel of some sort, but how to "test" them before putting them in the display to see if they're nippers?

Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
