Lemon Peel Angel...any luck???

[Cloudburst2000]

Also, I know lemon peels like to eat algae. I was thinking about adding some macros to the tank for them to feed on. Are there certain macros that they would prefer over others? This tank won't be set up until fall at the earliest. I'm just trying to do all my homework ahead of time.

My guess on algae would be gracillaria.

I used to have a bicolor that devoured grape caulerpa, but wouldn't touch gracilaria.

hmmm...not sure I want caulerpa in the tank. Caulerpa can be such a PITA.

That's why I got rid of all my Caulerpa (e.g. borrowed a long spine urchin from the LFS to add to my sump) after I lost the bicolor.

Mine is algae eating machine. Its fine with leathers, Xenia, colts, and mushrooms. I added a birdsnest a couple days ago and he went to town. Seems to be chilling out so we'll see what happens. If he doesn't stop he'll have to go.

This is exactly what mine did. I've had him about 10 days and he's all but destroyed my favorite birdsnest and my goniopora that was going strong is completely contracted, probably headed toward death. Beautiful fish but I wish I had read up on them before adding to my reef tank. W'oops.
