Anyone? I just read about them eating vermatellid snails. Looking to see experience with what else they'll go for. Ime they are fairly easy to trap so catching him would be easy if it doesn't work out. Problem is if there was a problem it would be too late real fast. Worried about shrimp with it. Can't see it eating coral.

One of my customers has one that bites every single new coral. Sometimes day one is all that it nips, unless it is an open brain coral or a new clam. He leaves the clams that were in the tank before him alone.
 
Interesting. Already can't have clams due to butterflies. Not really sure how is feel to be further limited. I do have some brains.
 
The one I dealt with didn't pick on what was in the tank before it, only what was added after it.
