It's Got to Go!!!

Well, as many of you know I recently spend a large amount of money on some exotic corals for my fish tank. Well One of the pieces hasn't been looking for the last few days. I have been wondering why it is looking so bad when the rest of the corals seem to be doing fine. Then this morning after being to work all night, I was woken up at 10am by the kids fighting over whose turn it was to play the GameCube. Since the lack of sleep seems to put me in a grumpy mood, I decided to sit in from of my fish tank and just have a moment of peace. Well, my moment of peace was interrupted when I saw my Foxface

swim over and start eating the one coral. The Foxface is supposedly a grazer and typically just eats algae. I thought at first that he might have just been nipping at the corals skeleton to get to at some algae or something. However, a few moments later he swam over and took a monster bite out of the middle of the coral. I couldn’t believe it. Once he took that big bite he took a few more. This is when I decided that he had to go. The $30 fish is not going to feed off my $$$ corals.
I spent the next 40 minutes, chancing the fish around the tank with a big fishnet and a stick to chase him around the tank until I could catch him. He was pretty scraped up by time I got him out of the tank. I then put him in my 12g nano tank. He is about 5” long, so we aren’t talking about a little guppy here, so there isn’t much room for him in that little tank. Now that he is out of my main tank, I need to find him a new home. Hopefully, with him being gone, my corals will try to make a comeback like Rocky did.
