Kole and Frogspawn

[frog.pauley]

So I just got a new branched frogspawn about a week ago. Was very healthy and doing good. Then I noticed one of the smaller heads wasn't opening. Thought it might have had something to do with the introduction of the gig anemone. I just watched my Kole Tang take a chunk ouf the small head on the frogspawn! It still has one large head that is doing good and open, but the 2 smaller ones are almost completely gone. Anyone ever have problems with tangs eating corals?

My first incident of a tang turning against coral was my purple that I had for a year without issue. The one day he started pounding my acans and had to go. He was the only tang in my 100g.

I had a kole and a chocolate mimic tang start tag teaming my acros, ripping the flesh right off the skeleton. That was a stop everything and remove the fish event. Personally, I believe it was a case of displaced aggression, where they were taking out their aggression towards each other on my acros. The only 2 tangs in a 100g.

My chevron so far has been not only beautiful, but reef safe. And also the only tang in my 100g.

My powder blue will eat my frogspawn if he is not getting enough to eat.

He has ripped the flesh completely from one of the frogspawn heads. Hasn't touched the biggest. He is the biggest fish in the tank. Only tang and hes small. Only about 3". Tank mates are a pair of Picasso clowns, and midas blenny. He has gotten severely aggressive with the intro of the gig and the clowns. The are also duncas, zoo, and hammer that he doesn't touch. The frogspawn seems to be the apple of his eye. Seems he has stopped the destruction since he cleaned the one head out. If it persists, gone!
