So I have a pair of coral beauties. They’re captive bred and seemed to be fine with the softies I started out with ... but then I started adding LPS, and they started eating them. I love the fish - I have thought about rehoming them, but I want to try to work around them first.
Their MO is to patrol the tank and pick at flesh or tentacles whenever they see them extended. Which results in the coral retracting to protect itself again and again until after a few days they are constantly retracted. They then recede and die.
Eaten / sensitive to being picked at:
- Hammer
- Zoa
- Duncan
- Acan
- Candy Cane
- Favia
Spared / don’t seem to mind being picked at:
- Blasto
- Scoly
- Ricordea
- Red mushrooms
- Hairy mushroom
- Toadstool leather
- Purple gorgonian
- Clove polyps
- RFAs
- BTA
Any suggestions on other corals that may do well cohabiting with these not so model citizens?
