I find that as long as I keep food in the tank, the damage is minimized. It's only one that picks, and only on a couple pieces, so I'll tolerate it. But I feed nori before work, auto feeder dumping pellets every 90 minutes until I get home, then more nori, and mysis after dinner.
My wild zoas are gone, same with palys. They eat some algae too, so that's a good thing ) Overall, they're an amazing pair of fish and I'll deal with the nipping. Just have to increase the coral growth a bit to keep up -lol

Meh, kinda done with corals. Fish are cool, and I can't rehome these guys without fear that someone would kill them. Figure I ordered them directly for my tank, it's my responsibility to look after them. I know, weird, right??

Good for you Brad. Im the same. Couple times I have removed corals or my clams because of my fish. The fish, such as my 5yr old copperband meant more than the corals which found good homes. Like you I felt it was my responsibility.

That sucks Brad. As we once said nice fish are better than a few corals but then there,s a limit. When my attempt at a butterfly was eating my sps polyps I freaked out, removed him and sold him. Now my little copper band is a perfect resident.

Sigh. Sorry to hear Brad, I guess it's just matter of time. I am worried now.
