Copper and nipping at LPS

[tmo65]

I have a copperband doing well in the tank and doing his thing on the aphasia. But now he is nipping at my LPS’s througout the tank. It is the only fish doing this. Can the LPS deal with this periodic nipping or do I need to get the fish out of the tank at this point? I have a t least 25 LPS, so it is not just one coral he is nipping at.

Personally I would get him out. I have a Flame Angel that has nipped at some of my LPS and has damaged some of them. I should hopefully catch it this week and re-home it.

Once they start, they dont stop. Its rare to see a CBB do this but it happens. Mine couldn't care less about coral - just food
