Yupp, I think that's what I'll do.. I saw 2 of them attacking one of my biggest snail Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I was referring to that recent study I just don't want to take any chances

*Little update*

I've got a skinny Yellow Tang a few months ago and I keep trying to get him fat but it doesn't seem to work.. All my fish are literally obese but somehow my Yellow Tang won't gain any weight

While I was feeding them today I realized that my Yellow Tang has Black Black Ich for the second time and it's just weird cuz there's no stress in the tank, all my other fish look amazing and the water parameters are good but the nitrates (20ppm), so I'm guessing it's because he's underweight I'm gonna buy a veggie clip on Friday and I hope it helps him to get some weight.

I also don't feel like destroying my tank to threat him, will a cleaner wrasse and cleaner shrimp do the trick?

Thanks!
