So I have a decent sized melanarus wrasse (approx. 4.5”) and he lived with my serpent starfish for 6 months and then all of a sudden he’s missing an entire arm, and another, until he’s picked to shreds over the course of a 3 day period (serpent starfish was about 9” in diameter) I have even seen him pick an new/baby heads of my Duncans, acans, and zoas. And today I put a bunch of margarita snails in and he was trying to eat them, it took a while, after I put in some flakes real quick to get him to eat those instead. But even after he was full he kept trying to pick at him and I was resorted to protection my snails with one of those giant Kent Marine feeding stick/syringe. I fed at least 2-3 times per day and he is always full. Is there anything I can do to help stop this behavior
