Lepto

[jtisle506]

I'm thinking about picking up a Leptoseris coral but have a problem. My flame angel is a little bugger sometimes and nips certain corals. I just cant get rid of her b/c of her beauty. Due to her being in the tank I can keep acans, chalices, and when stylos and poccis. Also if a coral starts do die she likes to nip it. I have never tried lobos or any other brain just figured she nip it. My question is are lepto similar to chalices or brains? Dont want to spend money on a jack o lantern lepto for her just to gobble it up. What do you think?

I have a flame with some lepto including a jack-o-lantern although the flame has only been in the tank for a couple months now. The flame will leave all my corals alone including zoas, lobos, chalices and other corals and only really nips at the rocks. I think the key besides getting lucky and finding a fish with a personality of not picking on corals is to feed them well so they do not starve and look at your corals as a meal.
