I have a Coral Beauty that has successfully killed another (Flame angel) in my tank. (I knew the possible risks introducing two juvenile angels but was pursuaded by my LFS it was a small risk:hmm3
fast forward to now. I have 2 snowflake clownfish in QT, one is approximately 1.5" and the other is 3/4". I super scared to put these guys into my DT with the beauty. Btw, The beauty nips at my skunk shrimp during feedings. So I'm pretty sure he's a super a-hole.
Here's my plan:
1. After QT of clowns, remove beauty from DT
2. Put beauty in QT and rearrange live rock in DT
3. Put new clowns into DT
4. After clowns are established put beauty back in DT, watch tank incessantly for days in case of great bodily harm:fun5:
Is this a good plan? What could I do different? I'm aware the probability was high of the Angels duking til death, it just happened at such a rate I had no time to intervene. Will this happen with every fish I introduce to the beauty? Should I rehome him or are my chances good with this plan?
