    Looks like my Coral Beauty Angel finally decided to start tasting my corals .... I can't think of anything else that would have partially eaten my brain coral like that .... is the coral pretty much done for ?

    If there is any flesh left it could potentially come back, you need to either get the coral beauty out or put the coral somehwere the fish can't get to it, by putting some sort of protective cage or something over it and weight it down. Some people use something like those plastic berry containers you can get from the grocery store.

    yes I am trying to get the fish out, so far tried net and now trying trap ....

    here are a few pics of it along the way ....

    when we first got it from the LFS, it was on a piece of LR we got:
