Bubble Coral Feeding

[ReefOn55thDubai]

Hi R2R

Question: Can Bubble coral catch and eat healthy fish?

My bubble coral has grown big, even during a period before i started auto-dosing, it grew better than all other corals in my aquarium.

Recently I have noticed it grabbing huge chunks of clams and scallops from my home made fish food, that even my biggest wrasses leave.

This morning I came in to see this ;Nailbiting

The 2 arrows show the tail fin of a medium sized healthy Orchid Dottyback.
Well healthy last night just before lights out. Now getting eaten.

My Dottys loved hiding in this nice purple coloured coral, but even the 3 Dottybacks i have left now stay away from it.

It is about the size of a small US football, when its fully inflated and not eating my fish.

All my coral are apparently voracious predators.
Last night I added 4 red bar Anthias.

This morning ...
