Powder Blue Picking on Softies

[supervdl]

My Powder Blue likes to take a bite out of certain soft corals like Green Star, Kenya Treet types, Clove Polyps, Daisy's...

Anyone having similar experience? If so, what did you do about it?

feed him, he is hungry!

mine also does the same. I have a small rock that used to be overgrown with GSP now they barely open at all. Powder Blue stays busy all day long. Fortunately that's the only coral he messes with

 

[supervdl]

did anyone have success by feeding them more frequently? or do I have to live with his behavior (take him out or accept the fact he eats certain corals)?

 

[campos]

I feed mine quite often I think it's just their natural behavior to stay busy all day long.

Put the full Nori sheet on one of those clips and see if that keeps him busy

I'll trade you him for mine! I don't like the softies that came with my LR :uzi:


Anyway, feeding him nori would be the best idea, mine goes crazy for the purple nori

+1 on leaving nori clip in tank. If I do not leave my naso something to munch on he tears up the colt coral.

Feed him more I have a dumb PBT he cannot figure out the clip with Nori on it. Get a Eheim auto feeder loves that keeps him happy.

What do you put in those auto feeders for tangs????

Flake food New Life Spectrum Optimum Salt H2O Flakes Make sure the feeder is over a part of water with high flow so it can be mixed in the water quickly.
