Nipping at corals

[maxim.dockx]

Is this considered not reef safe?

And how come there is some slime coming out of the euphyllia. Anybody know what that is?

When corals get stressed and some even when they eat they will slime up. Your half black angel is stressing it out by nipping at it. All angelfish can pick at corals and it looks like you have one that has a taste for them. Although some Angelfish have amazing colors I have always been on the side of caution and skipped Angelfish in my reef tanks for that reason. Maybe some of the Angelfish keepers can elaborate a bit more on it for you.

Is that an Eibli? If so they love them some Eupyhllia. My guess is it will get picked to death or possibly its just coming back for the slime.

Ah ok. Any Angel with Euphyllia is a crap shoot. Once they acquire a taste for a certain coral its usually time for the coral or the fish to go.

Bummer. Angels are pain to catch. Maybe try feeding a bit more to try and curve his appetite.
