Hi guys
I like to know is Red Stripe Angelfish bad for my corals.
Is just going true the rocks and attempting to eat my smalls polyps.

Should i returned to the sore? Is not touching my biggest corals.

Thanks in advance
Samy

I had a Eibli angelfish and it ate a small clam and was picking at corals had to go.
Hope this helps.

I have a friend who just got one, so far no problems but I saw another post from someone locally who had one and had a problem with it nipping at things like clams.

Generally speaking, they do pick. Of course, it depends on the individual fish, what corals are in your tank, how much you feed, etc. I have a friend that has one. It did not pick at what was already in the tank when she added it (mostly zoos), but it does typically sample new additions (again zoos). Also, she does keep the fish well fed. Hope this helps.
