In the past I’ve commented my bicolor angel did not nip at my corals. Well of course shortly after making that comment the nipping of my red planet began. She flaunts it in my face. I chase her away but as soon as I sit down she is back picking at the same coral :(. I don’t have a frag tank. I think the coral is a goner

Angel is doing great loves the tank is out in the open now. Question do they eat snails. I had a outbreak of hitchhiker snails and now I have the angel they are mostly gone. And one of my turbos got killed

Interesting thread, on a subject that’s concerned me for a while.

here’s a video from a prominent reefer, who interviews other prominent reefers on the subject

I have a multi color, bicolor, coral beauty, and a flame. Haven't had major issues.

Interesting though is my bicolor likes to nip at my kp aquatics common starfish and the little tassels on the side of my aiptasia eating filefish.
