Asfur Angel-

[ConcreteReefer]

I bought one knowing they nip at SPS every so often. How are they around LPS, Are they like all the other angel's, or is it just luck of the draw? I had a Coral Beauty for years and he was a model citizen, hopefully the Asfur will be the same.

I'm looking for people that have had experience with these fish..

Thanks

I had one that was a model citizen around all of the corals I had in that tank, leathers, mushrooms, polyps, and an anemone. It did eat a frag of LPS but never touched anything else, I have heard of others being very destructive to everything in in a reef so it really is a gamble as it is with most angels.

That's what I wanted to hear.. Was yours shy? What did he eat? Mine seems finicky about what food he consumes- Frozen Ocean Nutrition Spirulina, PE Mysis, and Thera A+ seem to be what he likes, if he eats at all.

Mine was very shy at first but became very bold with time. Mine was never a picky eater and generally ate everything. My experience with angels is that these fish are real eaters and all of them that do settle in will become very hearty feeders sooner or later. Mine loved PE mysis and New Life Spectrum most of all.
