Your Tank took my breath away. I am very new to this. Hopefully one day mine will be as nice. Part of me wants to smack you for posting them in the newbie forum, and the other part of me says thank you for posting them here I have something to look forward too.

I need to find one of the cherub. thanks again for all the nice compliments

GSMguy · 02/03/2007, 05:21 PM

awsome thats the shot i was looking for lemonpeel is beutifull any nipping?

fancyfish · 02/03/2007, 05:25 PM

He will eat plate corals and some open brain coral. I had two beautiful plates one was orange and 3 years old. I chose this fish knowing the risk and had to have him. I traded out the plates. No regrets. He does not eat anything else. If you choose to get one be willing to trade out corals or loose a few

GSMguy · 02/03/2007, 05:45 PM

oh no i have a potters and he does some random nipping nothing i cant handle i dont care as long as the corals dont get damaged he is pretty good though

fancyfish · 02/03/2007, 06:01 PM

lemon peel almost always will eat/pick on coral. my flame and cherub do not

fancyfish · 02/03/2007, 06:10 PM

by the way the potters angel tends to be ok as well. most likely will do what he does. The lemon peel is the most risky

UnderwaterExotic · 02/03/2007, 06:21 PM

Most people have sucess with the flame angel?

fancyfish · 02/04/2007, 08:19 AM

yes underwaterexotic, most do ok. the safest would be any of the pygmy species. the dwarf species tend to be more of a risk. The flame and lemon peel are both dwarf. It also depends on what type of coral you have. most dont pick on the mushrooms and softy. The lps an zoo's are a bit more risky. also I don't keep sps so can not comment

Wonderful tank!! I'm planning on upgrading to a 180 and love your setup.

Does the foxface nibble at any corals? Beautiful fish!!!

UnderwaterExotic · 02/04/2007, 08:32 AM

See my tank is going to be all SPS,Clams and LPS! I dont think that i will risk it!

fancyfish · 02/04/2007, 08:51 AM

The fox face does not touch any coral. the only fish that does is my lemmon peel. But he is gourgous so a small price to pay for such beauty

GSMguy · 02/04/2007, 10:04 AM

Underwater exotic clams sps and lps is angel food there are some that are safer than even the potters check out the fireball aka the pygmy angel

UnderwaterExotic · 02/04/2007, 09:17 PM
