Unhappy flame angel eating corals

i have a flame angel which has started to pic at my new Goniopora, is there any way to stop it from doing that without removing one of them from my tank?

cheers

Probably not, you're going to have to move one of them out.

Dwarf Angels are a crapshoot, and it looks like you lost.

Why dont you take out the coral and sell/trade/give it to someone, instead of watching it die a slow painful death??

hey GMGQ, the coral has been removed and is doing fine. i would never just leave it there to become a very expensive and beautiful snack for my angel. Marie, i too have opted to keep the fish and remove the coral. I am going to see if my brother wants to take it off my hands for me. i am keeping an eye on the angel though to see if he is eating anything else, if he is, then i will have to consider finding a home for it too. to bad, i really like both the angel and the goniapora.

cheers

I have a regal angel that is a coral eater. I opted to keep the fish as well and I just remove any corals it takes a liking to. Luckily I have 3 tanks so removing a coral isn't a big deal
