will a BTA eat corals?

[805reef]

my BTA has been in a cave for a few days and finally came out today... he is walking around and has made his way on top of my green star polyps... should i worry that he is going to eat them? or is he just harmless and just cruising around trying to find a good home?

Eat- probably not, Sting- you bet

They will sting the life out of some. Its happend to me when mine was searching for a spot to hang its hat. No fun.

they will sting and kill anything they want to, but the will not eat anything other than fish. WATCH OUT FOR POWERHEADS!!!
