Bad Powder Blue

[tony727]

Does anyone want to trade or give me tips on a powder blue I have?

Its always nipping 24/7, but recently its started nipping on my corals.
My Hammer, Alveopora, and Xenia have been nipped at and they won't open up as much..

I feed the fish often and quite a bit along with placing in nori occasionally.

Not sure if it will help or not but I try to have some sort of algae supplement available for my yellow tang 24/7. I use green, red and purple sheets as well as the New Era rings. One of these is always in the tank.

+1 Food always present or they go rogue. I've learned the hard way Tangs are not 100% Reef Safe as many websites state.

I've had him for about 2-3 months now, not sure what to trade him for yet.
He's about 5 inches or so maybe less. Very active and not very shy either.
I'd say he's the most dominant in the tank. Whenever I stick my feeding stick in he would swim around it several times, showing he's not afraid.

Nori clip, but tangs are pure pigs!!! If your tank is algae clean, they are always on the hunt for food

I put a big sheet of nori on a rock and drop it in, they have a feeding frenzy over it!
When they see me come over to the tank, they follow me and get really excited when they see me pick up the nori container.

All the other fish look like they're saying "What's so exciting?"

Are you sure its eating on the coral or nipping around the coral for algae?

 

[tony727]

Its definitely nipping the coral because I see pieces of xenia, hammer, and alveo getting pulled off..
I sit in front of my tank a lot lol.
