Like the thread title says... what are your thoughts on a nipping fish causing STN/RTN?
The backstory: A few weeks ago I added a Filefish to try to get the aiptasia in my tank under control. I knew it was a gamble to begin with. Long story short it appears he hates to eat aiptaisa but loves to nip at all of my Acros. Super. Now I need to trap it and get it out.
i know he is a nipper I have seen him do it. All of my tenius have been closed up since he was introduced into the tank.
i have also lost several other non tenius frags during this time. And I am scratching my head at the cause. Add to that, that I am losing frags one at a time and not all at one. First it was an unnamed smooth skin acro, then it moved to my piece of full spectrum, now my piece of what I think is WWC After party is going. The way it is moving from coral to coral makes me think it is that the corals are getting picked in and not a chemistry thing but... we all know that chemistry could also be the issue even if it is one at a time.
I never actually saw the filefish pick in any of the piece that I have lost. I am just puzzled by the situation.
