nymex ‐ nice fish! Does he nip your coral?

7 years

ssbk23 ‐ Thank you :)

Yes it does nip at the corals. Not enough to cause any damage yet but I'm keeping a close eye on it.

nymex ‐ ok good! thanks!
Hope mine will not eat coral!

ssbk23 ‐ Good luck :)

I think they will all will eat coral at some point in time, just the severity depends on the individual fish.
The amount they are fed also plays an important role in how much they pick at coral.
