So in a different thread I put out that I was going to put aptasia covered zoa colonies in my main tank for my copperband to munch on. I watched as one of my Lemon Peel Angels pecked at a colony from a distance. I inched closer, by the way fish have good vision lol. I finally got close enough and sure as I have 20/10 vision that bugger was tearing up the aptasia!http://www.austinreefclub.com/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif I was going to grab my video camera just as the lights timer kicked off! My theory is the copperband was having desert and the angel decided 'why not?I will attempt footage tomorrow. Has anyone ever seen this too?

Also I have 6 dwarf angels placed in and 8' tank all at once purely as an experiment to test the no more than one per tank theory.They are getting along 'swimmingly' lol. This is the first result!

this is very interesting. i have this all yellow fish thing i'm trying out and that fish would fit in nicely and i have some aptasia that is starting to become a nuisance. i wonder if the lemon peel will attack my zoanthids though.

I just got an "Aptasia eating File Fish" that doesn't seem to care for my particular brand of aptasia I guess.

Anyway, looking forward to your results.
