Coral Beauty getting picked on?

ejwasson · 07/21/2009, 06:43 AM

I just got back from 2 weeks in Italy (yeah me!) and my coral beauty is missing some pieces from it's tail. Things were fine before I left. Prior to leaving I shortened the photoperiod and instructed the fish sitter to only feed every other day.

Fish: yellow tang, pair perculas, blue tang, royal gramma, sixline, rabbit fish

Tank: 90, 30gal sump, t-5, etc.

I suspect that my friend was just feeding pellets despite what I asked her to do.

My inclination is that the lack of food caused the female perc to pick on the angel and that I should just feed regularly and watch them for a week before I freak out and send something to the fish store.

What do you guys say?

The sixline should be suspect as well - they are, in my experience, brutal savages.
