I'll be honest I didn't expect this...

'Couldn't believe it at first, but I have video of him taking chunks out of my GBTA!

It does. Wow. Anyway, Liveaquaria site said they nip at soft and Stony coral. Is the nem still alive.?

I had a matted filefish absolutely destroy a really nice rock flower anemone. Not surprised they'll eat a GBTA.
 
I find Gbtas carry very mild sting. Probably not enough to defend themselves.

'Nem is presently in a separate perforated box; expecting the worse, hoping for the best :(

Are you sure there wasn't a problem with the anemone before?

Anyway, it's not that surprising... they eat aiptasia. I hope mine doesn't start doing the same.
 
The filefish can go in the sump! I can feed it cuttings of tree coral down there!

'Nem didn't make it :(
It's been a few weeks now, but I've caught the filefish, who is now chomping his way through the aiptasia in the sump.
"New'Nem" is now in the tank and was adopted virtually instantly :)
