Angels And Soft Corals

[firefish10]

Are angelfish less likley to eat soft corals like duncan? or will they eat those as well?

I'm not sure about which corals are eaten the most, but I do know that Genicanthus angels are planktivores, so they won't eat any corals.

it depends on the angelfish. Some big angels like adult blueface and emperors will eat corals. Most pygmy angels don't bother if they are well fed. If you get juvenile angelfish and feed them a variety of food, they will be less inclined to eating corals. If you get adult angelfish then they will only eat what they normally get in the wild. For some species that will be soft corals.

I thought Angels were tropical, not marine


Or am I thinking of a different species altogether?

There are freshwater angelfish and marine angelfish.
