Klein's Butterfly taking a liking to my Zoas

[Gho5t]

I've had my Kliens for years and it never bothered other LPS I've had, but for some reason he decided to start picking off some new zoas and nipping at some frog spawn. Is time for him to be re-homed or are there ways to discourage him from eating all the new shiny stuff. I tried telling him no in a stern voice but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

"No" only works if you stick head in water first otherwise he wont understand.

dulely noted... I'll adjust my approach and report back.

I don’t know but if it’s the only Coral he’s bothering, am afraid you might have to consider not replacing it and just letting him take it. If you want to keep the fish.

I talk to my LFS today and they said they'd take him so it's been a good run but I'm going to re-home him. I'm looking to grow out my corals so him taking a liking to them isn't in the plans unfortunately.

Unfortunaly. Ur talking a risk with most butterfly and angel fish. Sucks cuz theyre so purty.

Yea, I had an aiotasia outbreak a few years ago and he made quick work of them. But they’re long gone and he’s been fine till now. I knew it was probably just a matter of time. I do wish I could keep angels though. They have some of the most amazing coloration.
