What other fish I heard flame angels were a holes

You have a torch? See the hammer.

Nice and clean I don't see a bit of algae.

Fish are like people, some of them are assholes and some of them aren't. This one is "a little" territorial. But not bad. Doesn't attack anyone. It will chase my coral beauty from time to time to let it know who is boss.


2 clowns
1 Scopus Tang
1 Coral Beauty
1 Diamond Goby
1 six line wrasse
1 Yellow Tail Blue Damsel
1 Flame Angel

Yes, I have two torches and a cristata

That's really good and pretty mature, how did you lose control at that point?

Lazy

Weekly water change it was going great

Also one point broke ankle

One time not using rodi and you are sunk IMHO. (distilled not rodi)

It was all in one tank - I think breeder with full dump like you have would have got protein skimmer work better

If I ever did it again would have to have rodi filer- transporting water is no go for me.

Definitely tank with sum. Probably no sand.

Vacations were hard only I understood tank

Flame angels and Coral Beauty angels are not a good combo unless you have a large enough tank for them to each establish a territory.

If you like mushroom babies take a razor blade to a big one, just cut it in 4 like a pizza. You can cut them smaller but if it's your first time go with 4 or even 2 if you are scared. Eventually they will multiply like weeds on their own even in below average conditions.

Aquarist today are very lucky, when I started you got to choose between green coral and brown coral for the most part. Zoanthids, any color you want as long as you want green and yellow and maybe some purple mouths. ANYTHING with the tad bit of interesting color was sky high or put into a display tank. We did get huge colonies for relatively cheap but what's the point if the color sucks.

Grats on the red mushroom. The angel will eventually start to nip on corals, I've been doing this for decades and they always do.

Oh yeah, you have to use rodi. And there is no way I would got buy and haul it back weekly. I have a 5 state rodi filter with mix station.

We will see, I got him from a guy that had him two years and was shutting down his tank. He said he never nipped his. He's been in mine for about two weeks and so far so good.

Had to try, he's gorgeous.
