Fish Gone Wild: ATL Style

[flyingarmy]

No...not a soft porn video of fish like you expected.

Just a warning...

Whilst dispensing my crack coral this weekend to all the addicts (yes I am one also! Admittance is step #1 to recovery) I noticed that my Coral Beauty suddenly took a liking to my newly acquired Alveopora. I am not talking liking as in gifts of flowers and chocolates but more on the taste arena! I watched as the Coral Beauty picked several polpys right off. I knew the Alveopora wasn't doing well, but I had attributed that to being a wild caught colony and it not adjusting well to a captive environment. But to my dismay the culrpit was caught polyp in mouth! I moved the alveopora to the frag tank, hoping it will make a full recovery. As for the Coral Beauty, it is being watched closely for an more indiscretions! It has never nipeed at any of the other corals, so I am hoping this is just an isolated incident.

Lesson of this rant....fish can go wild! Be weary, be wise!

Ohh how so very true, my Coral Beauty will nip at the polyps of my cabbage leather. Doesnt do any damage to it just a nip.

Many times, angels will pick at corals that are not doing well and are consequently sliming a lot. It's a chemical cue that is often irresistible. So, all may not be lost. The angel may not ever touch another coral.
