Hi,
I have a 55-gallon reef that has been up for about a year and a half. It is stocked with; scopas tang, flame angel, 2 ocellaris clownfish, purple fire fish, Dispar Anthias. As far as corals go I have a Colt, 2 toadstool leathers, GSP, mushrooms, xenia, maze brain, anthelia, Lemnalia, some sort or brown polyps, and a condy sea anemone. My lighting is 1 175 10k bulb on a 400 watt MH ballast. My pH is around 8.4 and my Ca is at 500. Now I've tried to keep two Acropora frags, but both were killed by my Flame Angel nipping at them. I want to get a Maxima Clam, but I am worried about the Flame Angel nipping at that as well. Do you think it would be best to sell the Angel back to the LFS? and if so would it be possible for me to try to keep a Coral Beauty? or do you think that the Coral Beauty might nip as well?
Thanks,
Les
