    I cant feed my OB b/c all of the fish would steal it from him. In fact, I have to take my sun coral out of the tank and spot feed it, wait until it brings in the food and still wait a little. Then place him back and after doing all that, the Y tang and F face still are able to "strip" away some morsels. It has gone so bad, that after I feed and wait, I have to put the SC back at night so the fish leave him alone, but thats just one part of the harassment, then comes the hermit crabs to the attack.
