My clowns LOVE my torch. They are always within a foot of it if not in direct contact with it. Any fish that makes the mistake of coming near it catches the females anger too. Funny watching a little ocellaris chase a Tang away.

What’s a feeding sponge? Never heard of it, but would sheets of nori or red gracilaria suffice?I dont have any coral nippers but my friend has had a tang not sure the exact type. He said that feeding sponge stopped the nipping. He had a similar looking issue. Hope that helps.
Flow was moderate before. I rearranged my power heads last night (from side glass to back panel) and flow hit my torch more. Dialed back the settings. I’ve seen those breakages before, but my Duncan’s are in low flow area (under powerhead)Do you have good flow? Sometimes when a nice long stinger is sent out, they tend to get twisted in the flow and will break off. That’s what it usually looks like after...
My clowns are less bold. They host the corner with the back panel and side pane. Never been attacked by my clowns versus prior experience with different clowns. Glad they aren’t so vicious!My clowns LOVE my torch. They are always within a foot of it if not in direct contact with it.

I will have to see. They honestly don’t get that much food, so I wonder if they are getting desperate.+1 vote for a shrimp
I caught a peppermint shrimp in the act of snipping the tips of my torch off. Just the tips, and it didn't even eat them!
I immediately tore apart the tank and my African cichlids received a tasty snack
Unfortunately my torch just melted away after that...
