    Unfortunately it happens every now and then a "reef compatible" fish turns out to be not so. Got a "reef compatible" Heniochus which ripped through my zoas. He nipped through zoas, clams, snails, and certain coral polyps. Since I am feeding twice a day, every day he seems to have mellowed down.

    That's why we call them...Animals. :yelrotflm


    I'd go with the Broccoli idea from Tangster. It sounds promising. Lettuce / Broccoli - I think those are your best chances.

    I do this with my yellow also works very well and it doesn't come outta the clip as easily either :)

    I don't have lettuce eaters but I would rinse it WELL (just in case of pesticides etc...) under RO and then Put it in a Veggie clip.

    I use both from time to time. They seem to like just about anything that is green.
