    I may have figured out who has been terrorizing my Zoas and may have killed my clam. ITS THE FOXFACE!!!! I havent seen him in action, but according to my ref. book, it states that a well fed Foxface will leave corals alone, but an under fed one will "nip" at lps and soft coral polyps. I think what has happened here is that he has grown over time and his appetite as well and what I feed him is not enough anymore. I guess its time to evict a tenant:-/.
    I would love to get a Powder blue tang to replace the FF but three tangs in a 90:confused:. I think all hell would break loose. Luna

    That's why I got rid of mine. I've even seen my yellow tang doing the same thing.

    ANGELS???? Are you crazy? Thats the last fish I would get, in fact, you couldnt pay me enough to have one in my tank. I had a Key Hole Angel once and he was worse than the FF. Not to mention it took me almost 4 weeks to catch that MF with a fish trap. Im thinking of a smaller fish that would be less of a bio load than the FF. The only Angels that I like are in heaven!!;D

    I agree about the angels luna. They are killer in someone else's tank. What kind of ideas do you have for a new fish? C'mon I know you've got something on your mind.
