a couple of days ago i posted a thread about fileting my 3 striped damsel. well i gave him a second chance until this morning. i bought a purple acro yesterday, acclimated for 3 hrs and with in an hour his color was awesome. i was very proud of my first acro. i have a couple of staghorns that are doing tremendously well so i dipped into the acro field. i woke this moring and about 3/4 of the four tipped frag was skeleton. i immediately thought my parameters were off until i caught that little SOB red handed nipping at the acro!!! has anyone heard of this. he has never touched any of my other corals unitl the acro!! i will rip my whole tank down to get this ^$$&*(#$%@#(()*^$^%#(*. and slowly torture him. animal rights or not, i dont care. im protecting a reef!!! lolol

I've had mine pick at corals I place in "his" area. Just as if it were a fish. Once he realized it wasn't going anywhere, he left them alone!
