I have added a female Black Molly 14 days after the cycle started. After acclimation, she looked happy and gave birth to about 10 babies. Two days ago, I added a few corals, one of which is Catalaphyllia. Yesterday as I gave her a few frozen blood worms, she grabbed one of the corals' tentacles, and immediately got poisoned, shivered, released the content of her stomach, and died several minutes after. Whether it was a single event of confusing a tentacle for a blood worm or not, it seems that Black Mollies should not be kept with corals or at least Catalaphyllia
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
