What is your live stock.

It will only get worse if it is already nipping. TAKE IT OUT!!!!

i added a flame angel a month ago. everything was great. first my montiporas were always retracted. then tips of my other corals started disappearing. now its everything. im very annoyed and this fish will not be easy to remove from my system.

I have a flame angel, hippo tang six line wrass and a percula clownfish. i had the flame for over 2 years. So This will kill the sps corals? I heard the corals will have PE at night to feed if there is a fish in the tank that nips at them? I would hate to have to get him out of the tank but i dont want to loose my corals either.
thanks again

I had a bi-color angel do the same thing. After all my corals closed up, I trapped the bugger. I think I ended up losing one coral. Poly extension is back, but not all the way and the silly fish has been gone for about a month.

i doubt the fish would end up killing my corals, but growth and polyp extensions are certainly being affected. i plan on removing my flame as soon as possible.
