Flame Angel vs coral help

[ladyravon]

Hi all!! I am in the process of setting up a 55 gallon (hoping to be a reef lol but we'll see). We currently have a 125g reef, a 29g crab tank and a 20L FOWLR. The 20L was supposed to be a coral growing tank until I brought my flame angel home. I have read that it's hit and miss with them eating corals. Well we have a coral muncher .. he almost wiped out my acan in our 125g so we pulled him and now he's in the 20L temporarily. My question is this ... has anyone had any luck with flames NOT eating chalice corals? I would gladly turn the 55 into a chalice tank because they're my favorite corals. The ONLY coral the flame bothered was my small acan. What are your thoughts and experiences??

Thanks in advance!
Gwen

flames needs LOTS of live rock to graze on..they are 50/50 on eating corals...personally, I have never had an issue with them as I feed my fish 2X during the week and 4X on the weekend..I only keep LPS (hammer frogspawn, etc.).
