Blue Tang

[Rjjflores67]

Hello , I have two blue tangs in my Red Sea Reefer. I noticed the larger , 5-6”, blue is nipping at my large GSP, and it’s not blossoming as much lately. Understandable but wondering what’s up with this blue tang. Any suggestions.

Thanks,
Richard

I have seen Powder blue and atlantic blues doing this. Food falls onto them and they get a taste for polyps when going after the food

Welcome
My angel rips food out of aiptasia and pieces of them while it’s at it. It’s fine with me.

Welcome to Reef2Reef Richard.
I’ve had the same issues with blues eating soft coals, although not GSP!
