Thanks!

Copperbands and other butterflyfish like to eat feather dusters.

k thx!

My brittle star ignored mine, but YMMV.

Some angels (dwarf or otherwise) will eat them. I have seen a bicolor blenny nipping at some at the LFS.

do they eat them or is it like 50/50?

 

[aqua man]

like to nip

 

[HoCkEyGmC]

sry, i meant do angles do it?

 

[aqua man]

angels can be fisty but my knowledge with angels are limited at best i now the less you have the more aggressive they can be. it also varies from angel to angel

so if i had a flame angel w/ like 4 dusters, it'd be better than the flame w/ 1 duster?

 

[aqua man]

no you would prob be better off with a few angels so they can keep themselves busy, however these fish need alot of space what size tank do u have. flame angels also in particular like to nip at Anemones so dusters might not be the best idea.FlameAngSelFAQs here is a link on flame angel fish i hope it helps.

I know I had two angels and they did nip at my corals and dusters. I finally had to get rid of the angels.

 

[HoCkEyGmC]

well ill save the flame for a different tank or something, r there any other "nano-ish" angles that are more reef safe or no? coral beauty? or is the name misleading? (pun)

 

[aqua man]

they all nip sometimes feeding more will stop it but it's hit or mis

k. thanks!
