sps killing tang
Why
 I got home lastnight from working out of town and my blue tang decided to snap off a piece of sps. I got it about a month ago and it recently turned a bright teal/royal blue. It was my favorite piece. The frag plug is still encrusted but it was a frag about an 1" long. This fish is a pain in the a$$. It moves anything that is not glued down and snaps pieces it doesn't like.

That's interesting, I have a Regal that does the same thing.He does this especially after I've added something new. He picks things up and drops them somewhere else, usually somewhere where I can't get at it easily. It can be very frustrating.

I have had sps break from fish, I use my tailored aquatics glue and throw some on the broken peice and put it back on the main coral, overtime the coral grows over the glow and becomes stronger.

If I had a clue where the piece went I would mount it but it is a big tank with a lot of hiding places. When I say I have LOST 10-15 frags I'm not joking.
But on the bright side, every couple of months a missing frag gets carried back to somewhere accessable. It is a nice little surprise, If it is alive. I'm about 3 for 15

You should see what my vlamingi is capable of.... I don't think he does it on purpose though. He's just big and has a lot of momentum.
