I have a tang that seems to have an issue with polyps. Every time I've tried to add polyps to my tank, someone torments them horribly when I am not looking.
I'm pretty sure it's the tang. I thought it was a territorial thing, so I moved the polyps away from his "area" to the other side of the tank.
He followed them!
No matter where I placed them, someone kept knock them over, pushing them around; basic torture. So, I wedged the piece of coral they are on between two rocks, eliminating any possibility of movement.
It appears that if they can't be moved, they can be removed..
Oddly enough, he leaves other types of coral alone, and I have a small xenia colony that he leaves alone. it appears only the zoos get hit.
Anyone have any suggestions?
(don't buy zoos; get rid of the tang; I know...)
