Sigh! :sad:
My CBB has developed a liking for SPS!
The little bugger picked the flesh clean on two small colonies and has started on my large Pocci colony. He doesn't seem interested in the LPS or Zoas so I'm hoping he won't. If so, I guess I'll have to find a good FOWLR for him somewhere. Stupid fish: I've had him going on two years now and he was totally reef safe. Why are the cool fish the most trouble? Why not a Chromis?

Yeah, how disappointing. I was never able to keep acans or blastos in with mine. Guess even though "generally" regarded as "mostly reef safe" they are still butterflies in the end. :neutral:

I feel your pain: my potters angel is doing a huge number of my gorgonians. I'm not looking forward to trying to catch her but when my new FOWLR is cycled she can move in with my butterflies there. Stupid fish! But oh so pretty....... <sigh>

Thanks Guys. I've lots of SPS in the 90g, and they grow better in there anyway, so it's not the end of the world if I can't have SPS in the big tank. I just hope he leaves the other corals alone. He's one of our favourites and I'd hate to lose him.

That sucks :sad: I have to agree though CBB's are to cool of a fish to part with.

The green polyps are definitely brighter and more attractive than the brown ones but they are shorter and don't move in the flow as much. This coral is huge and looked like a large undulating mass. Now it looks like a green fuzzy basketball.

You can see the longer brownish polyps toward the bottom section of the coral and the green short polyps covering the rest.

So now the polyps are turning brown again? Stupid coral can't make up it's mind!

Doug, I'm glad you added the word temperamental in that sentence. When discussing my organ the words: bit and odd should never be used.
