So unfortunately my 1" tuxedo ate my clove polyps this morning. Had about 10 polyps and saw him siting on top this morning. There's enough algae in there so must have been dessert. I have some other corals in there, should I be worried about torches, hammers, Favia, Zoa, Acan or Candy Canes? I sat him on an algae wafer and he seemed to eat it for about 30 minutes. Just wondering if there may be any other future issues.

Should be fine. Mine also ate all my cloves several months ago, but doesn't touch anything else. I managed to save a few cloves by covering them with a plastic strawberry basket.
