Anyone have experience with Singapore Angels?

So I made an impulse purchase and bought a Singapore Angel. It’s about 2 inches and nice and fat (couldn’t get a pic as he’s hiding in the rock in my observation tank). Anyway I know they’re a 50/50 shot with coral, but anything I should be on the lookout for?

Never kept Angels Shane, sorry I can’t be more help. Maybe @HumbleFish or @Dr. Reef can chime in.

I once dated a.... never mind....no experience here with Singapore Angels....

 

[Dr. Reef]

just like any other angels they nip at corals, grazing algae and tend to bother corals and some sensitive corals will not like that constant nipping and fade away. Angel might eat soft corals and also clams.

Thanks! Well if it nips my Kenya tree, green star polyps, or Xenia, I’m fine with that. I’m more concerned with my LPS and SPS

SPS will likely be fine… the LPS I’d watch closely.

Appreciate that. That’s kind of what I figured for the most part.
