Do your fish break off you Montipora?

[Crush Coral]

My fish keep running into my Montipor and breaking it off. Is this common?

Get them some glasses.....

It happens, nothing you can really do.

Seems strange; it may be a sign that your fish don't have enough swimming room.

I was thinkin the same thing. They have to be swimming pretty hard to break off pieces of coral multiple times, too.

tank size?

My fish break off acropora. They have plenty of swimming space, but my green coris wrasse can get really worked up around feeding time and he darts around the tank at mach 10 and just plows right into my corals. Smaller branching corals like my Hawkins echinata stand no chance.

 

[Anemonebuff]

Not yet. All the breaks are my fault so far.

Ive had a problem with some of my bigger snails chipping them and my sea urchin. But no fish probs yet.

Before my 6" bluejaw trigger went carpet-surfing, he'd break a piece off of SOMETHING in my 140-gal about every other week.

My Blue Tang throws his temper once and a while and breaks my corals.
When it wants to be fed and I don't feed him it likes to pick up frags off of the frag rack, snails, or what ever it can find, and toss them around the tank. I now have a regular feeding time whether I like it or not.

I have a montipora confusa that my blue hippo tang loves to crawl into.....I'm not sure if that's normal but he does that.

 

[cdunson82]

Mine hasnt broken one off yet......but I do see them swimming pretty close.

No, but I accidentally did :hammer:

Funny thing, i've left the frag down in the sand this last month (M. digi) and it's growing way better than the source colony.
