Button Coral under attack

[ckripp]

Pyramid Butterflyfish suddenly decided to start aggressively biting Cynarina. I’m out of town and cannot get the Butterflyfish out for another 4 days. My office staff protected the coral by inverting a plastic cup over it. Will this be OK for 4 more days? It seems to be healing over in the places where skeleton was exposed and it’s puffing back up inside its “cage”. I know there will be a lack of flow, but it was going to dye a slow death otherwise. Think this will work?

Should we take the cup off and let it breathe? Will the fish “remember “ and come back to bite it? We have been feeding a little extra to keep the fish full until we can remove the culprit.

Poke small but many holes in cup, will help the flow through the cup.

Thanks - I’ll try to get that done.

Yes holes would be helpful.Alternatively a plastic colander or top of a 2 liter soda bottle.
