Fish are opportunistic eaters, you want to mimic their natural environment not a onetime grand buffet. but a more natural occasional lucky meal

I have used Prazipro in my reef tank with no ill effects as far as worms what are we talking about Spaghetti Worms and Baby Bristle Worms as being beneficial I can live without them my feather duster has shown no ill effects from the treatment. A good cleanup crew without worms will do the...

I on the other hand would leave it in unless you are talking about a dozen jumbo shrimp. Remember your bio filtration colonies are predicated on the amount of bio breakdown they get. Constant breakdown constant bio development. When your tank is able to cycle at safe levels you can add a CU...

Mix a cube of good quality frozen food (defrosted of course ) with some cheato make a paste and push it into the rock that he likes to pick at.

Without a clear picture that coral could be one of many types of tree coral or even a Gorgonians. As for removing the plug, that depends on how adventurous you are. This is one method I have used. Remove the coral to a small shallow container. Position the coral so that just the plug is out...
