So for those of you who've kept corals with coral eating fish:
What has been the most noxious coral you've kept that nobody ate, the coral that survived the gauntlet. The maculosus angel eats all the softies, palys, and gorgonians. The stars and stripes puffer ate all the hard corals, took literal chunks out of all of them, and helped sample the palys. The Slippery D Wrasse ate 2x maxi mini carpets, literally ripped them from the rock to eat them, but previously left bubbletips alone.
So far I've tried:
Large rock of Xenia (eaten immediately)
3x Kenya trees (eaten within 24 hours)
50+ polyp rock of Captain Jerk Palythoa (eaten immediately)
50+ polyp rock of Texas Trash Palythoa (eaten immediately)
6"x6" rock of GSP (eaten immediately)
3 types of Gorgonians (eaten within 24 hrs)
3" Acropora frag (eaten within 24 hours, even the skeleton)
3" Blue Ridge Coral (eaten within 24 hours, even the skeleton)
Maxi mini carpet anemone (eaten within 24 hours)
I haven't tried mushrooms yet, but fear they'll meet the same fate. I do have a couple extra orange Rhodactis shrooms that could be test subjects. I'd also like to try a larger anemone, as that would at least have a pair of clarkii clowns to protect it, but don't want to just sacrifice it either.
