I finally caught a coral nipping coral beauty, I saw him nipping at some new frags this am, and that was the last straw. Took the tank apart and finally caught the bugger. He's in my 30g now. While I was at it, I figured is get a snail killing mystery wrasse too. While chasing him around he ended up committing fish suicide by darting full on into my gigantea...lights out! End of story...poor guy, not a chance he could get out, he went right into the center of it, and it's a big one, at least a dinner plate when open.
Now maybe I can keep a cleanup crew around for more than a few months.
 
Lol that's awesome. I wish I had the resolve to hunt for the lemonpeel that I suspect is nipping corals. I have no proof yet, but since adding him to the tank, most of my lps aren't doing nearly as well as they used to.
 
To dante411x. Lemonpeel angels tend to nip at corals quite often. I would say they are the less reef safe out of all the dwarf angels.
 
This to me went beyond nipping, it was downright eating, one frag I got he ate at least. 30% of the polyps. The last one was killed in a week, I thought it was my water/lights... Nope
