Flips all corals upside down. I put them back, he flips again, he's even managed to move glued pieces and knock them off the rocks. That said, I haven't seen him since yesterday morning.....

standard behaviour which i had read about before purchasing. didn't think they'd be so good at it though! just imagine that fish over a foot long and the things it could relocate! mine often has a white streak across his nose... i think he scrapes it with all his mischief.

i have a feeling my rockwall is the skimmers nemesis thus why it wont settle down the resin and skimmer are having issues. everyone seems happy enough in the tank so no ill effect there but i noticed a sticky residue on skimmer cup.. time will tell i guess

I had a bad episode with 'sticky residue' after using epoxy sticks
I had to remove it from my hardware with, ( ya, I know, bad, ) 99% alcohol ( scarred my skimmer cup for life with micro cracks )
I couldn't remove it with anything else, and it stopped my skimmer's production
Once I removed it, all was good

Hope you're not going to go through the same issues ...

Tank is lookin' stellar dude

well it could be glue as well now that you mention it i did use a total of 3 sticks to glue structures in place when i added the live rock and yes my skimmer cup has all the cracks too... i cleaned the cup with goo gone easy enough and rinsed the cup out but its acumilating again.. so that may be the culprit or partofthe culprit as well
