Conspic angel experiences

[Len]

Just curious who owns one (or someone who owns one) that lives in a reef tank. I would like to know people's opinions/experiences on how reef-safe they really are.

I have an 8 incher in my reef. It has never really paid attention to the corals, but I don't have any Lobos or other fleshy corals in with it. No interest in SPS. It was a challenge to get it eating well... Scott Michael's book is absolutely right in describing their temperment.

I have a 5"er and it doesn't touch anything. I have SPS, some LPS like Chalices, Zoas, Paly's, Xenia, Anthelia. I wouldn't trust him with a clam though.

I only have one clam, so I'm not worried about that (it can be an expensive meal for it ). What I'm really worried about is my Elegance ... one's that live in captivity aren't common these days, so I'd cry if the Conspic made a meal of it

Still thinking about whether i should try

I wouldn't put any large angel in with an elegance. I have seen other larger angels tear them up so I don't see why a Conspic. wouldn't take a bite at some point.

There is a guy on reefcentral selling his 5" specimen for a very good price. But he says it does nip at corals.
