Blue/Queen Angel, any way to keep it from nipping coral?

[maevepotter]

I have a beautiful blue or queen angel in my 75g tank and I'm wondering if anyone else has had success with keeping it from eating all the coral? So far the only things it hasn't damaged are mushrooms, gorgonians, gsp, xenia, and a cabbage leather. It's nipped at a hammer but not killed it. Killed a duncan and another toadstool leather, several sps etc.

 

I'm also wondering if it's time I rehome for space reasons. I love this fish, very entertaining and will come look at you, but I want to keep more coral in that tank. Also have you ever had an angel kill other fish? I didn't see it happen but he was very curious about the watchman goby and then it disappeared. But the pistol shrimp has also lost 2 other watchman, so I'm not sure it's not the culprit.

 

The angel is 4-5 inches long, very active, but doesn't seem unhappy.

 

Can anyone tell by the way if it's a queen or blue?

 

Thanks,

Meghan

I had one in with some LPS. Leather, Frogspawn, and some zoas/paly. Was okay. But was it was just a few, 2/3 pieces. But I wouldn’t do it in my full reef.
