I just noticed my torch has some of its tips ripped and i saw one of flesh came off. The only suspicious fish in my tank would be new junvenille foxface. i got him couple of days ago and saw putting his mouth on xenia and space invader but didnt do any damage or anything so i thought it would be ok, but after finding out my torch is ripped, im pretty sure its foxface. Should i relocate him or let him just stay in tank.
 
hi,from info provided,i would say relocate,although i have never seen a fox eat torches ;) happy reefing

Kinda sounds like a flow issue with the whole loosing flesh seems like torch would have stung it I've watched my puffer take a bite from my elegance my fault dropped a clam right next to it but he defiantly got stung had a white bump on his mouth for a bit
 
Could be. I had a foxface and I noticed him nipping at a duncan. A short while later there were a bunch of tentacles missing and the foxface was near death. He died minutes later. He was fine minutes before. Coincidence?
