Hey
Has anyone had a problem with a non reef safe purple tang?
Mine isn't,I bought a really nice zoa frag from a member of r2r and it looked like the polyps were melting away and disappearing,guess what my purple tang has been eating them I just caught him RIPPING them right off the mount and when I chased him away from the zoos he then decided to destroy a tabling acro. :mad:

I had a Yellow Tang some years ago that I had to get rid of...it developed a taste for corals as well.

I've had 3 Sailfins over the years and each one eventually started eating zoas. Ic an only keep palys now.
Jim give me a call when you catch him. I need to do some pruning so maybe we can work something out?
