Do Masked Angel nip at corals?

[stevenlu]

Hi guys

I'm looking to add masked angel Genicanthus Personatus. To my understanding the Genicanthus family is safe with corals. Anyone knows?

Thanks for the help.

Wow, sorry not sure? But good luck that’s a beautiful fish!

Entirely reef safe

The reason is that angels of the species genicanthus are zooplanktivores and therefore don't eat corals

Entirely reef safe

That's what I wanted to hear.

Thank you

Yes. They are reef safe. Genicanthus are. I have a pair of Bellus in my 150 and they have never touched anything. Clams, softies, lps, never looked at it. Awesome fish. You looking at the ones at TSM?

Yes I wanted to reach out to Don. But I'm thinking if I can get one locally would be best. Wouldn't want to stress out that fish.

Haha threw in lots of corals but I don't think my tank is ready it. I'll fill it up with fish first...

Well then that one fish is worth 5x all the livestock i just ordered XD

That’s where I got my pair. Hard to pay that without seeing them first, but I have yet to get anything there that was not top notch. Good luck. Post some pics if you get them.

I've seen one that nips at SPS. It works in a tank with a lot of SPS to spread out the nipping.
