Yellow Dwarf Angel constantly picking at Green Haddon's Carpet Anemone

[jlefebvre]

I have a yellow dwarf angle that has taken a strong liking to constant picking at my Green Haddon's Carpet Anemone. I honestly don't understand why the Nem puts up with it and just doesn't have her for lunch. The angle has chewed away a half dollar size spot on the Nem and she just wont leave it alone. The Carpet seems to be doing well despite this but has anyone else experienced this and have any suggestions. If I even point at the angel she swims away like she knows she isn't suppose to be doing it, but then she is right back at it when I walk away. It's constant. I have had the carpet for about 4 months and the angel for about two. I have tried to catch the angel but all I end up doing is knocking my coral around and she gets away scotch free. I hate to say this but I would love to she the nem eat her ***.

What are the long term effect on the Nem over time?

Take that little bugger out.
Lemon peel angels are treaturous.
I've had luck with flame angels, potters and swallowtails.
I have yet to have somebody tell me from direct experience that these bastards are reef safe.
Yes, I got mine out with luck and a lot of time and work.
He was a champion at coral picking and what ever he found interesting.
Nem too.
