coral beauty

I'm trying to decide if I want to keep mine or trade in back in for credit. I"m loading up on sps coral in the next couple of months and I want to catch him before my tank gets full. Can't decide, such a beautiful fish.

 

Yea they are beautiful, it's all about the fish he could be safe but it could be a disaster, maybe if you added a sponge or two he would eat those and not your coral

 

Holy moly did I jinx myself. The very next day after posting this I noted my coral beauty nipping at the bottom row of my new milli colony from WT, INC. For the last week it was only two branches being picked. Last night I came home and it is up to 4 now.

Now I mounted this in his swim zone - perhaps I can do what I did last time and just move it out of there and he will leave it alone. If not, I have a bigger problem.

Man.

I had to say something and jinx myself. Amazing.

That said, if moving it out of his swim area works again, maybe I am on to something worth sharing with others.

That stinks Bro. Good luck and let us know. Would love to own another one of these fish.

 

UGH, I'm always so tempted to pick one or a flame up when I see one, but then I remember these stories. I've taken my tank apart to get YT devils out, and I don't want to repeat that again

Good luck Matt

 

I have a coral beauty and a flame angel together in my 150. I added them at the same time about 2 years ago and never had a problem. I have zoas, frogspawn, hammers, leathers and a bunch of other stuff. Never noticed them touching anything.

So much in this hobby is personal experience. Sucks that the one u got is picking on your corals.
