Lemonpeel Angel in clam tank?

[piercho]

Does anyone have experience with this particular angel in a clam tank? I could use a generalized grazer of fanworms, small colonial hydroids, and algae in my tank and have considered a lemonpeel. I know that angels in general are risky but does anyone have experience with this particular one?

Yes,
May nip on clams.
I say may cause I saw oen that lives with clams for long time, but I also saw few that nipped.
For SPS I'd never put them.
You got better choices in Pomacanthidae.

No personal experience but Scott Michael writes in Marine Fishes"notorious for nipping large polyped stony corals and tidacnid clam mantles" (215). I would'nt chance it but that's just me.

My experience is that they nip more on SPS than LPS, unlike larger Pomacanthus spp. that eats mainly LPS.

Back to the subject,I think there are some safe angels to put with clams without taking the risk you might take while introducing a lemon peel.
Try Genicanthus spp.
Centropyge joculator
Chaetodontoplus personifer
and some more.
