blue tang causing problems

[greystreet41]

I've identified my blue tang as being the culprit. I've had several zoanthid colonies in QT and have began introducing them into the main tank. When I return usually the zoa rocks are rearranged. I assumed it was the yellow coris but have now witnessed the blue tang (pretty mature--very visible teeth). it's almost as if the tang sees what the coris wrasse is nibbling on (maybe pods on the new introduced zoa rocks) and is coming behind the coris wrasse to wreck havoc. At times, it looks like the tang may be singling out possible algae, but other times it is clearly devouring zoanthid polyps...any thoughts/suggestions?

Removal of the tang.....I had to remove a Purple Tang I wanted for years because he all of a sudden got the taste for clam mantles....Removal is really the only option unless you don't want zoanthids.

Sounds like your blue tang needs an attitude adjustment I have a blue and a yellow with plenty of zoo's, and no problems. sorry to hear it.
