Default Kole is eating open brain coral

My kole is eating the open brain coral. Do I need to feed it more so that it is not touching any coral?

Just like any other fish it will probably continue it brain feasting regardless.

Like the grizz has said, once you try brains, mysis will never taste as good.

Any chance the brain has receded at all with skeleton showing? As algae could be growing on skeleten which could be what it is after.

If you can find one of those strawberry baskets, place it over the brain for awhile. Sometimes the culprit fish will forget how yummy they are if it hasn't had a taste for some time. If anything it will give the coral a chance to heal.
