I like my Allen’s damsel but I’m wondering if it’s going to be a major pain for corals when I start adding them.

It likes to do major rescaping work, as you can see on this picture. I’m going to push the sand in the back and see if that’s what’s bothering it or if it’s rather trying to make a mountain of sand to feel protected. If the latter, then I guess this will be a problem with corals and I’d rather deal with it now, while the tank isn’t too full. Catching it will be a pain but if that’s what I need to do I’ll do It.

I did research those damsels before buying it and never read anyone complaining about it. Maybe it's just something they do when younger ?

What’s your experience with them and digging ?

Some fish love to dig. My yellow belly damsel dug all the time - 24/7. 5 seconds after I finished covering the hole he was out digging it again. Kind of like the little Dutch boy trying to plug the dam...
