Poor PE, dwarf angel to blame?
- Thread starter TangingOut
- Start date
I just purchased some really nice frags and by the 2nd day had great PE then all the sudden nothing, as I sat and watched my Ebeli Dwarf Angel came over and nipped here nipped there and now no PE well I guess it's time for dwarf to go to LFS 600 dollars of Copps frags win in this contest!

I got rid of my flame, shame because he was one of the most beautiful fish. After my crash I think he started picking at dead skeleton. After that he started picking at everything. Never did a noticeable damage. My tank is full of frags so that may have made it more noticeable. I may try another when the tank is more grown out. Took a month for PE to start coming back so I'm wondering how much that was the angel and how much was just a few months post crash. I guess I'll never know!

Update,
Soon after starting this thread, I traded in my flame Angel and picked up an acro frag as well. The frag never lost PE unlike most from before so I was hopeful that PE would return on all other SPS. 2 months now and I'm happy to say, that most SPS are showing some PE with a few totally extended.

Yeah that is the bigger worry. PE on Acros really doesn't matter, but my angles will munch on the LPS above, no acans for me!

Angels and SPS with PE doesn't go together. I don't care what other people say. The truth of the matter, all angels will eventually nip at the polyps. You don't watch your tank 24/7 so for the couple hours you watch it and you don't see any activity doesn't mean the angel is not nipping at it.
I had my fair share with angels. Before them, my SPS had great PE. Added a majestic and started to notice the PE is less and less. Seeing it pecking at corals gave me the confirmation that it's the cause. I also have a pair of masked swallow tail that I think are also pecking at stuff. I would have to think really hard if I want to transfer the angels to the tank upgrade and live with the bald SPS or rid of the angels and just do tangs. I'm leaning toward the second option.
