for all of you out there than own coral nippers

So i added a declivis butterfly to a full blown sps tank lol .. knowing the consequences. I am perfectly fine with it nipping, although i still have some concerns. My little nipper in particular has an affinity for torts and millies . Has anyone had coral die from the nipping? I am being specific about nipping and not eating . My torts have since recessed there polyps in the day and i get PE after the lights are off , which is some what more natural anyways not having the crazy PE which i can't imagine existing out in natural coral reefs. What i have heard is to expect slower growth from these corals but they should be able to tolerate it fine. Does anyone have any experience they can share with this?

Hmmm, it's really OK if you have to move him to my FOWLR

I think i would setup another tank before i got rid of this pellet/flake anything eating butterfly lol ... I really don't want to even think of the stupid things i would do if i owned a fish only tank.

I did a pair of morish idols and they began to nip sps they didnt kill any of my large pieces but did kill some of my smaller pieces as well as I saw a noticeable health decline in some of their favorites to nip also I had 2 so it was like double trouble
