Question

sixline wrasse


I have a coral that is in and out of good health, everytime it gets growing good, something in the tank happens to set it back. I noticed the polyps on the longest finger didn't come out anymore, but I had a lot of problems so didn't think anything of it. After watching for awhile, the sixline wrasse comes and picks on it in various places. Has anyone had a sixline wrasse that started enjoying sps polyps, and if so, how do I get him out??

He is probably pick at something on the coral(Maybe flat worms, or nudibranch's), which could be causing it to not open.

Look at your corals real close, even try doing it at night...I have never heard of a sixline going after corals, they are carnivorous.

thanks for the reassurance guys, he has never bothered anything before, sometimes you can't be too safe though.
this hobby is making me paranoid, hehe
