Corals - I am ready to throw in the towel!!!

[globaldesigns]

As many of you know, I have had my issues with SPS... Well now my Blue Tang has taken a liking to my zoas. In the past couple weeks it has eaten about 35% of them. For those thinking she is eating around them, she is not. She actually grabs them and forces them off the rock, sometimes whole zoas are floating as she yanks them off and the gobbles them up.

I have been feeding 3 types of pellets everyday (2-3 times a day) with Nori a couple times a week. Thinking that wasn't enough, as I feed lightly to not pollute the water, I bought an auto feeder and am feeding 4 times during the day, then a couple more times at night. But nothing has changed, she continues to dimolish my zoa population.

Any ideas? As I have given up and will just let her eat them all and not buy anymore.

I am ready to through in the towel with the coral thing. Maybe FOWLER is meant to be!

Trader her in for different one? Maybe she tries to spread out the zoa in your tank. How big is she?

Hippo Tangs are omnivores. I've heard many reports of Hippos going after softies and LPS as they mature. I guess you could say they are Hungry Hungry Hippos! Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.

Maybe it's time to push the restart button?

Why not sell off pretty much everything you have, change out some of the LR, do a massive water change and remove the pellet reactors?
