Help saving acans from nipping.

I have two acan frags that are not doing to well. main becuase of nipping from y coral beauty. The fish doesnt nip hard enough to do damage it appears but rather has irrittaed the corals so much as to where they dont open up at all and are rather regressing.

I have stopped the beauty from nipping at the other corals it has nippe at before by taping the glass. it only picks on the acans. I may decide to eventually get rid of the dwarf angel but for now I was looking into some type of protection for the acans to see how they do.

What would u suggest in the way of some type of barracade that would still allow them to recieve flow and light but prevent them froming being nipped on?

 

my coral beauty always picked on my xenia. For me, I would stay next to the tank, and whenever he nips on the xenia, I would lightly tap on the glass enough for him to scare away a little, I done this for couple of days, and now his not nipping at it anymore. You could of say I was lucky, but it still worked.

 

yeah. thats what I staed above that I did and it worked with some acros the fish was nipping at but hasnt seemed to work with the acans.

 

you can always put a strawberry basket over them for a few days. maybe brake his habit.
