Dying Brain, Damn Angel

[noob23]

Is there anything i can do? I really don't want to have to remove either one from the tank, but the brain looks pretty bad, and the angel is picking at it pretty consistently. I know prolonged abuse will result in a dead brain, and that's definitely something i'm hoping to avoid. Any advice? Ill probably return the brain tomarrow.

Angels are not reeefsafe, or as stated by Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums, Reef Compatible: With Caution! Depends on what you want. A reef tank or fish tank.

Really not much you can do but take 1 or the other out.. I love angels but won't buy anymore b/c of that reason.. And they are kinda mean lol

Pgymy angels are considered reef safe, they are prone though to picking at LPS and clams so you have to choose corals accordingly. Remove the brain and stay clear of similar style LPS

in the meantime u can build a cage for the brain out of eggcrate to protect it that way itll still get light/flow and u can give it time to heal before u trade it

another way to protect it while healing is to get one of those shower baskets that have suction cups and attach it to the side near the top...chances are the angel won't go up there and harrass it, once healed and healthy then trade it but my bet would be to trade out the angel....as any coral is probably a meal to the fish

Dwarf angles can be hit or miss... Some are better than others. Maybe if you do what Tre/lorna suggests it will forget about it and leave it alone.
