Flame angel and inverts

[HiImSean]

Do dwarfs, especially flame angels, go after inverts? I bought a tank from a local reefer that I plan on adding a dwarf, most likely a flame, and some inverts like sexy shrimp. Will an angel make them a snack?

no they won't.

^agree. Have had a flame with inverts (skunk cleaner & peppermint shrimp among them) for 3 years with no issues.

No, but watch out for any fleshy corals. I've had terrible luck with dwarf angels on this tank.

I've never had any issues with my Flame angels and inverts or corals. Inverts should never be an issue. As far as corals, like I said, I've never had an issue but that could be attributed to my large tank and the fact that I feed excessively. My flame and my lemon peel are stupid fat!

Any corals that go in there I will assume will be nipped at.

Mine never nip at corals.

Keeping them well fed helps to prevent nipping. I have a flame, LemonPeel, potters and Eibli in my 265 and they don't nip much at all (though i don't keep the fleshy LPS corals).

it can 50/50 if they nip your not.

I only plan bta and cheap softies in the tank so if it nips ok, if it doesn't ok
