I just had to post out of frustration, when I got up for the day I noticed something has decided to destroy my zoos.  up until today, I had 2 decent sized rocks, one with probably 200+ head of sunflower zoo's, and the other had probably 300+ mixture of watermelon, eagle eye, and chocolate mint zoo's.  Now probably 90% of the sunflower and 70% of the others look like they have been chewed on and torn off.  (I did make me some frags so I wont loose all of them) I just dont know which tank member is doing this.
There haven't been any additions to my tank since April or May, other then that I have had most of the fish for years.  Now I need to track down the culprit and find them a new home or make my take 100% sps.
Here is the list of fish I have, does any of them scream out "zoo killer"?

Moorish Idol
Powder Blue Tang
Cobberbannded butterfly
Yellow Tang
Bluehead wrasse
clown wrasse
2 x firefish
2 x yellowtail damsels
2 x chromis
lawnmower blenny
onyx clowns
coral beauty
a few other fish I cant remember

Most-likely I will have to spend my days off sitting in front of the tank to figure out who the problem child is.  It just drives me crazy that I have had the majority of these fish for a very long time and NOW they turn on me. GRRRRR Angry
