    so i have just added my first corals to my tank... seem to be doing very well growing like crazy (green mushrooms). So I wake up this morning to find the smallest mushroom gone, immediately i knew what happend. I have a coral beauty that the lfs told me "they had never seen one nip at anything but clam mantles", so naturally since i didnt feel the need for a clam i bought it. Suspicions were confirmed when i see her nipping at another. Is there anything that can be done short of taking the fish out of the tank?

    or if youre gonna want to be adding other corals, maybe the beauty has to go. all angels come with the caution in coral and clam regards. my beauty has been a law abiding fishizen , hasnt nipped at anything . good luck in this decision.
