Coral Beauty-Finger Leather

Fishnewb1 · 02-21-2007, 01:39 PM

Is it possible that my angel has been picking on my finger?

I have recently purchased it and am confused on why it's polyps came out fine the last week but now is curled up into a little ball.
Im pretty sure it was him...although i havent seen him do it.

is there anything that i can get to make him stop?

Angels that are kept in reefs usually arent completely reef safe. They usually nip at soft corals, but a way to make em stop is to keep em well fed.

yep... feed em good and feed him often. Also putting a strawberry crate over it for a few weeks may help it get adjusted to the tank without an angel harrassing it.

Yea i have been feeding them a lot lately and my leather is looking a lot better.
is it normal for the polyps to be retracted sometimes?

I dont know if its the same but its a similar scenario......... i tried doing the eggcrate thing with some of my FW crayfish in order to stop them from messing up a certain plant. After i took off the crate it worked for about a week untill the plant was noticed once again and it was finished off... so if i were in that scenario i wouldnt use that as a full proof plan, but hey it might work with the angel ...........
