    My bluejaw never touched my rocks and no, a fish will do what a fish wants to do. I guess its like giving a chewtoy to a dog that eats your shoes. You can show it the toy all you want but if it has an affinity for shoes than it will keep eating shoes.
    sorry bout the drawn out explanation :p

    But they don't stop growing when you put them in your tank. They will eventually grow to adults. The damsels and the wrasse will be at risk at some point..... and lunch the next.
