Rusty Angel

[hossa81]

Put this under reef discussion by accident. Just wondering what type of corals will these guys eat or not eat? Plan is for lps dominate tank, brain and acans is the plan.

Just like any Dwarf Angel, they are hit or miss.

However, I've never had one nip (I've owned 3 or 4 in my life). Also look into a Coral Beauty - never had one of those nip either.

I like coral beauty's, but i used to have a rusty and i am really looking forward to getting a new one. Do u think they would go after any type of lps?

I think keeping any angel with brains and acans is a disaster waiting to happen, to be completely honest. It's going to be hit or miss, but have a plan B for the fish if you end up with a miss. I have had dwarf angels coexist with these types of corals for a year or more, and then suddenly decide they want to shred everything in the tank over night.

Actually the plan was to do acouple coral to complement the fish so i think i'll head into another direction. Will these guys go after anemones and euphyllias being that they have very large tentacles out all the time?

The last Rusty I had was in a 120 gal reef tank with frogspawn, elegance, flower pot... no issues. But there are no guarantees you'll be as lucky. :hmm4:

Much, much better choices Euphyllias are about as angel-proof as LPS gets, and anemones should be safe too.

Alright, thanjs for the advice

I have a rusty right now in a 120 with acans, blastos, zoas, frogspawns, hammers and elegance with one open brain. It hasn't touched anything either has the cherub angel. Both are going close to a year now.

 

[hossa81]

Yeah, well as they say every fish is different, i just dont want to take my chances and get one that eats everything.

Just wondering, has anyone had a rusty that completely destroyed the tank?
