To be honest your coral issues sound eerily similar to my own and I'm now of the belief that my fish are responsible for a lot of damage that I don't necessarily see them do. I think they do a lot when we're not looking. Besides my two butterflies (whom I know damage a lot) I'm no longer 100% trusting of my potter's angel or my rabbitfish. Every now and again I see them take little nips at my remaining gorgs.. You have the same rabbitfish .. I dunno - maybe there's something there that needs to be examined a little closer.

got to agree with whatever Tony just said. I never seen my angels pick on my corals but i know they do when i am not looking. Once the fish like the taste of corals, not sure how you can revert that.
