    I think above is true. Anyone else have experience?

    I recently added 2 K4's to my 75. Every coral in the tank perked up. Then 3 BTA clones got sucked thru. I just (now 2 months later) got a new bta, and holy crap if it wasnt stuck to the koralia 20 minutes after it went in the tank.

    My first velvet nudibranch found my K2 in less than an hour. So far my second one has been smarter than that.

    Anemones will do that and that is one of the hazards of having them.

    Wrap em like other's do and they can't get in em.
    Everything in my tank is wrapped so thing's like that can't get in em.
    Wrapped =foam around the outside of the Koralia.
    End of problem and it won't interfere with the intake.
    Can't blame the animal.

    I don't think Korallia's are any worse than any other powerhead.
