Hi All,

Got angry acans due to a trouble flame angel... Any tips???

See Before and after Pic to see how much they have closed.

Remove the Angel, and target feed acans a little heavier with whatever you normally feed them, if there are any damaged areas dip it with coral rx up to 3 times a week.

There's some pretty effective fish traps lots of LFS's sell some even rent them out. Atleast we do. There's also some DIY fish traps. The angel will keep pestering it until it kills it and likely move on to another coral

I tried the 2 liter bottle, a smart water bottle, a jar with the baggy cut in the corner, and the chase the dang thing with a net. I'll have to try a true trap. Which store are you at? SF?

Our shop is in Victoria, blue lagoon aquariums. I've seen people have success with those kids bug boxes with the window and vents on top. Leave that clear window open and feed from the inside for a few days they'll get hungry enough and used to it to be comfortable in it then you just close that window

I got the critter cage and its resting in the tank allowing time for the fish to acclimate to it.. Meanwhile Francis is the new owner of the corals, I traded some with him and banked one. That way I get a frag back when I get rid of the angel beastie.
