fish are eating my anemones tube

[Netofficer3710]

I have a coral beauty, flame angel, and yellow tang in my reef and all 3 like to pick at my tube anemones tube and I just noticed they appear to have removed a significant amount.

is there anything I can do about this?

Yes, remove the anemone and find it a home without angels.

Is that the only coral in the tank?

It is probably old material they are eating at. Is he new to your tank? Your anemone will be fine. I had the same thing happen with one of mine and he abandoned that tube and built a new one.

Sorry guys, I forgot I posted this.
The anemone seems to be doing fine and since that night they have left him alone for the most part.
When they don't have Nori the angels and my tang always pick as the nem as well as my feather dusters but they never seem to do any lasting damage.
