Tongue corals are in the Fungiidae family, so they are very similar to plate corals. On the sand is where they should be. They are capable of basic locomotion (puffing up and then deflating), so they can adjust themselves somewhat. All like Fungiidae, they only get around 80% of their nutrients from zooxanthellae, so they need feed occasionally.
 
There are two types of Tongue corals Herpolitha spp. and Polyphyllia spp. Herpolitha's have a long groove in the center of the coral, a mouth like a plate coral. Poly's don't (well, they do, but it's not visible like the others). I believe yours is a Polyphyllia. If there is infact a 'spot' on the front of the coral, definitely keep an eye on it. Generally tissue recession on any Fungiidae, is not good at all, and it just being shipped, could have been banged around.
Thanks.....YOU SEE A SPOT

 
I also believe mine is the poly cause there is no center mouth.....It looked good this morning....had a "tongue" full of little polyps LOL

Here is part of a table done on another site. It was an informal question to people keeping angel fish and if they turned out to be safe with coral or not. Just listed the Lemonpeel here. The whole table includes about 45 different species.

If you have allot of algae you want the fish to eat don't give it easy food on algae sheets. If however you have just a small amount of algae...feed it so it does not decide to nip at coral out of hunger. They are not a shy fish, they are very bold...but they constantly stay on the go.
They need a diet with sponge in it too. So you might need to get angelfish food to supplement the diet.

HMMM...I'll order some of that next time I get food....I use to buy mega marine angel before I switched to the H20 foods
 
I think I will try a small algae sheet tomorrow....we'll see how it goes

Wow I feel all special and stuff!
That's a really nice looking conch. I had three in my 110g tank, but they're hard to find here in south florida right now for some reason (and I'm too lazy to order one) so I transferred two of them into the seahorse tank for the trip up north. I don't think I'm going to get much for the snails and hermit crabs anyway.

UPDATE....The lemonpeel is doing great....likes the back of the tank a little too much though....she's very active in and out of the caves too. I have only seen her pick at rocks and glass.(YAY)
 
I put an algae sheet in there, and NO ONE seems to want anything to do with it

 
QUESTION: How long should I leave it in there??? (or does it matter)

It took me a long time to get any of my dwarfs to eat off the clips.
 
I always just leave it in there, sooner or later something will eat it..... I could be wrong, but I've had no ill effects from it.
