High Tide Aquatics

Got a Lemon Peel Angel for my reef

My last Angel was a Flame angel. I had it almost 20 years ago.. at the time, my aquarium was heavily forested with carlupa, which work really well for keeping water quality high. After a few weeks, the flame discovered that the carlupa was edible, and he completely cleared the aquarium of all traces. I haven’t been able to get any locally since…. Hint, hint, ping me if you can share some for my sump.

Anyways after the flame polished off the carlupa, it died. It just couldn’t get enough food. I’m expecting this Angel to do the same, once he discovers it, he’ll polish it off and I’ll have to give him away to someone with more available food.

Is it hard to get them back on prepared foods once they go rogue like that?

Caulerpa is banned in California now and carries a fine if you're found to be in possession or selling it: https://reefbuilders.com/2024/01/14...a-warns-retailer-of-10000-fine-per-violation/

There's plenty of other legal macroalgaes in the club you can get.

I haven’t found anything that grows as good. If you have a suggestion for a leafy macro algae I’ll take it.

I’ll be coming to the fragging event on the 23rd, and will have a bunch of frags of a nice hammer. Would like to get some macro algae if anyone can bring some.

Love hammers :)

Looks like it’s going to be a good swap!
