Tang vs Acan

[Lenny]

A few months ago I bought a tang at my LFS and threw him my Chalice and Acan tank. Over the past week my Acans were looking very unhappy. Today I noticed that the tang was nipping at the tentacles and I think he is eating them! :squigglemouth: Of course the coral is very unhappy. Will it die? Has anyone else experience this?

he will likely continue to eat the acans until they are all gone or you take him out

These appear to super healthy and he only eats the tentacles! He doesn't touch anything else on the coral.

Once you get him out the acans should recover, they're generally very hardy.
