I am thinking the ones he/she isn't eating may have toxic properties, and the ones she ate/demolished didn't. Let me know what happens with you. Hopefully yours stops also. I am hoping that is it for mine also. I should note, that I have fed Nori everyday since my hippo started eating the zoas, whereas I was only giving Nori twice a week.

I have been feeding her nori daily, mysis and blood worms every other day.. Her belly is fat but yet she still picks on ANYTHING that I move, like the other day I put a tri color acro up a little higher and cought her nipping it right after I moved it. I'm hoping it will stop but if it doesn't she's gonna have to go

how old is it? it might be at an age that it is discovering its environement and experimenting?
Mine does not pic at anything yet. I have zoanthids and pretty much all type of coral as well as sps and none get toutched. Sometimes mine like to scratch on the sps but that does not do much dammage. Quote:

Wow, that's really a bummer to keep a fish that long and then after so long it develop such bad habbit! I think they become more and more vegetarian with age...could it be lacking veggie? I know it's not very good to give this to fish but just to distract it from the polyp, maybe some romaine lettuce could do it? I read tang really love that stuff although it is low in nutrition, it could help in this case?

ok I have tried everything.. she will not stop picking. she completely wiped out 3 colonies of zoas... any other suggestions? if she hasn't stopped by the new year (or if she goes near any of my favorites) I think she might have to go
