Default Re: Nipping Flame Angel .. HELP!!

I've been lucky with Dwarf Angels. I had a 75 w/softies, a Flame, an Eibl's and a Bicolor. All got along and never picked at the softies. I now have a 90 with a Flame, LPS, SPS and Softies. The Flame occasionally picks at the base of my Lobophyllia but leaves everything else alone. It does like to pick off the LR. I don't remember where I read it, but in my research, one author suggested that many dwarf angels don't eat the polyp, but graze on the mucus on the coral. Debris and microorganisms actually stick on the mucus and form a food source (I guess for the polyp as well as the angel),
