Angels and softies

[Psionicdragon]

Will Angels eat softies like ricordias etc?

Not from my experience.They don't seem to like the taste of leathers.Can't say I blame them.

Mine either. Zoas yes, brains and fleshy Lps, but never a softie.

Hit and miss on zoas even. They graze all day...sometimes they hit a polyp

I agree 99.9%

I have a emperor juv about 3" in my DT with some zoas, GSP, and a singulara so far so good but if it comes down to it he can make a meal of anything not SPS in the tank if she likes

Mine (a majestic, a multibar, a singapore, and two potters) all seem to nip at my gorgonians, but leave riccordia, leathers, and nephthea alone. I don't have zoanthids, but I did have some yellow polyps a while back and think the majestic might have polished them off.

Fleshy LPS (frogspawn, candy cane, flower pot, etc.) are the ones I've seen most picked at. I plan on trying an angel/butterfly tank with GSP, Xenia, mushrooms, etc. down the road.

really depends... iv had angels that i was able to keep in a complete reef system... others i have had and have destroyed corals overnight. Luck of the draw i guess :fish1:

Every time i try something my french destroys it ..Last thing tried was colt coral,,he ate duncans, zoas ,devils hand and xenia in the past ...I'm going to attempt some basic mushrooms next

Thanks

I wanted to do a softy tank with angels, but not sure if they will go after them.

Depends on the type of angels. In my experience dwarf angels like flames, coral beauty, etc. will generally just nip at fleshy brains and clam mantles. The larger angles like regals and asfurs will mow through your zoas. Neither set seem to pick on softies though.
