Just make sure your glass is always free of algae. They want to scratch tje algae from the glass thats the problem I read. You have to clean very well

They don't, maybe coral lagoon can post a pic for you. Think he had his for a yr or so and it did a number on his tank (240g I think) glass is a must with them

They bite at the tank whether you have algae on it or not. They spend a good bit of time fighting their own reflection. If they see their reflection in an acrylic tank, they will attack the reflection, thereby scratching the tank.

They see their reflection in glass too, but their beak doesn't scratch the glass.
