 Topic: Devil Tang?
Posted: February 12 2008 at 10:25pm |
|
We recently purchased a Tomini Tang, or "Flame Fin Tang". I noticed earlier that it was nibbling at the heads of our Green Bubble coral, Candy Cane coral AND our Fuzzy Mushrooms. I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard of a Tomini Tang eating corals, or if maybe it's just picking stuff off of them? Like all Tangs, he's marked as reef safe, but I want to make sure that he's not trying to hurt the corals, because if so, he's gotta go. Thanks!

Never had problems with my Tomini, but they are all individuals.

I've never heard of them eating corals but I have seen them eating the algae off of corals.

Thanks everyone. Looks like we'll just have to keep an eye in him and make sure he's just trying to eat algae or maybe even food that's stuck to them. If he starts taking chuncks out of my corals, he's going to have to find a new home.
