Large Angels and SPS/LPS

I have a regal in my reef. For over 2 years now. I have all kinds of coral, and found the only ones he likes are the scolies and acans.
Expensive taste! LOL

He will nip at the sps, but my colonies are big enough to take a little pruining.

Nice Regal!! Well that sucks because I will have scolys and acans in the 270. Yeah it seems like all fish that eats corals always choose the expensive stuff to eat lol.

I have had a few angel in my reef. While each angel is different, the one that picked the most was my female flame. If you plan on an angel be perpared for a little less PE. For me its worth it.

As for a Blue face they are not nearly as bad as a Chrysurus is at picking but a little worst the an Imperator. Their is a great chance fro one to pck from the Pomacanthus family than say the Chaetodontoplus family. Do some reading, I'm sure you'll find that it worth a shot. If not have a fish trip ready.

He was great for about six months. Didnt touch a thing. Then I went and bought some aussie acans and the light went on. He took out 3 large scollies in a month.
I have to keep my acans in my smaller tank.
