my new flame angel has started nipping at some of my SPS but hasn't gone after any of my other coral. It doesn't look like he has caused any damage to the SPS tho. Should i remove him or just hope he stops?

A good trick is to put an angel in a quarantine/fo tank for a couple of months and get him to become a lazy grazer. In other words spoiled to where he doesn't graze, he just waits for the master to feed.

Hmm never tried that alton but that is definately worth trying. Good idea

Personally, I wouldn't trust any angel or butterfly in my reef tank. Eventually you'll have to catch it out.

Yeah I have heard that pygmy angels can be hard to keep in reef tanks... either hit or miss and they usually go for SPS first from what i read. Really don't want to take him out such a cool looking fish.
Alton- If i had a qt tank i would try it.... but seems like a lot of work just for one fish. might as well catch him and trade him for another at LFS and hope that one is a non coral terrorizer
