flame angels are abit of an enigma. while most are reef safe, there are some that are utterly brutal to corals. some turn out fine when u first get them, but turn into coral eating machines in a few months. no way to guarantee unless u decide to gamble. many reefers say flame angels are a 50-50. but its more complicated than that. however success stories of them not eating corals are high, albeit there are some horror stories too..

if u acquire a coral eating flame angel, no amount of food u feed it will prevent it from eating your corals. it will still peck your corals regardless. and yeah i agree with you about the maroon.

sorry :off:

if i've acquired a "coral-eating" flame angel,

any particular corals he will whack? like pratas and brain?

or he'll just nip at every single coral?
