Hippo tang picking at Nerite snail antennas

So far mine hasn't really been a bad boy so hopefully he stays like that. they are pretty much a 50/50 chance and mine only picks at fish poop and the glass hehe

 

Yeah, I suppose it's a gamble one takes when choosing a fish...
The good thing is that I have not seen him pick at my corals any more. I may have been mistaken and thought he was eating my acros when he was maybe, just maybe taking something else that was on it... I don't know.... I haven't really made up my mind about that issue.

I wish snails could grow their antennas quicker though :

lol.... i love the reference to linguo...error..error linguo doooowwwnnnn!

the coral beauty is IMO differs from specimen to specimen. The coral beauty i had was very peaceful and caused no trouble. it may be a sign its not happy, either too small of enviorment or maybe its not getting something it needs in its diet. i would try feeding a variety of different foods and see if it improves. who knows maybe yours is very territorial and sees the snails as possible invaders!
