have a banner fish that has been in the tank for several months and was going along really nicely with other tank mates
a couple of months ago I introduced button corals and srooms with out any problems with anyfish.....2 foxface.pearl scale butterfly nemo,dwarf 2 angels,3 pajama cards,and the banner,lawnmower...2 skunk cleaners
last week I introduced an elegance coral and took note of what the reaction with all the fish,the pearl butterfly had a pick at the elegance but spat it out
a few days later I looked at the elegance and noticed that 1/4"of the end was missing
I sat in front of the tank for a while and noticed the banner fish having a meal on the elegance,this went on for a while so I removed the coral to the sump
now I noticed over the last few days the banner has stopped eating and his stomach is swollen,is hiding behind rocks and does not swim around
it went to the cleaner shrimp station and allowed the shrimp to go over its body
now would the elegance coral have done this ????
need a bit of advice on what to do
tank 220+gal with everything ...water pars and normal sal is 1.022
