potters angel has a big brain appetite

[TOURKID]

So Ive had a beautiful potters angel for about a month.

Well, the potters has a major taste for my green open brain.

You can spy on him and within minutes see it takes bite after bite out of it. then the brain shrinks up. (large brain too at least 6x6 inches)

anyways, I made a little cage for it out of needlepint plastic, and i covered it during the day for 3 days.

the angel dident eat any other coral includeing my red open brain.

so i got frustrated with the cage today and left it off. its biten and shrunken agian. (was doing good with the cage!)

so what do i do....

sacrafice the brain for the angel? (I love the angel, the coral is just for show lol) If i get rid of the brain, is it just going to eat another one eventually? I really want to keep the angel

I would sell or trade the brain coral if you prefer to keep the angel.

Yep, looks like you'll have to make the decision of angel or coral. Even if you do trade the coral or sacrifice it, your angel may pick on your other soft corals if you have more.

You may have to go with hard corals or the "fake" plastic corals (they really don't look too bad ) if you want to keep the fish.

lol lets just say.... I have alot of lps

Heres the brain



heres the fish



I dont mind getting rid of the brain, I just dont want to if its surely going to eat more coral..

If you keep the fish, you will no longer have a lot of LPS.

That is why angels and butterflies are not reef safe, they eat lps corals and nems in the wild and in your tank. I say set up a seperate fish only tank for those species.

They are hit or miss with most LPS but they always pick at open brains

goodwood, is that from personal experience? Id like to happily get rid of the brains and keep the fish! lol
