Tang eating SPS polyps!?!?!?!?

[redspot321]

This morning I foung a bunch of little glowing things in my reef. It appears a tang I bought a few days ago is eating the polyps off of my stonies!!!!!!!

This regal tang is only the size of a 1/2 dollar, how can I get it out?

Anyone heard of this before?

I have a regal that eats zoos as quick as I put them in. Finally caught her with a video camera. No more zoos for me. They can be really bad and I have seen a lot of people have trouble with Regals. IMO there aren't many 100% reefsafe fish. They can all go bad.

:eek1: :eek1: :eek1: :eek1: Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, finally the truth shall set you free. All from previous reply is correct, every living thing in the ocean is hungry. Survival of the hungriest. My yellow tang I had went to town a new zoe pc of coral. Maybe 30 to 40 polyps on the rock. And guess what??? No mo tang, yes thats right my yellow tang died. And of course we all know zoes are toxic.

Okay so umm How do I get it out? This is a fairly heavy stocked
sps dominated tank.

Hes too small to catch with a hook, to fast to be caught with a net....


help please!

try sticking the net in for days until it gets used to it, then put food in/near the net and catch him
