	Coral Beatuty picking on bubble coral
n1cholls Hobbyist Posts: 77 Kudos: 2 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Apr-2003	Hi gang, very long time no post, hope you all are well. My coral beauty has been well behaved for over a year now since he was introduced, but this last week he has started nibbling on my bubble coral who now quite understandably refuses to open. I knew CB was a slight reef risk but thought I'd escaped trouble after all this time. Anyone have any tips on how to stop him doing this? If not then I guess he'll have to go, which would be a shame after all this time, as we're very attatched to him. How would I catch him if this was the only option? Thanks, Mark

I just put the rock in a bucket of water until the fish swam out and them put the rock back in the tank. This was of course with a purple psuedo, I don't know if that would work with an angel. Being so much larger I don't know if they hide in the rock itself or just around it. Raider_fish
