Coral Beauty Dawrf

[gill again68]

I think my Beauty is starting to nip at my star polyp coral. WHY? I guess it was this fish as the only other fish I have are 2 clowns, and a Watchman Goby. The Beauty has been nipping at algea and I thought that it was just cleaning the coral. However there seems to be some of the stems of the coral, part the polyp retracts into, missing. Is this possible? I have put an algea sheet in the tank for the Beauty but it doesnt seem to want to try it. Maybe in time?
Do you use anything else for your Beauty?
Thanks in advance for the responses.

Dwarf angels aren't always 100% reef safe.
Bad luck I guess...

I dont know if this really helps! But I have a Hippo that likes to nip at my zenia, and it makes them retract. I also have a GSP in my tank but he does not mess with that. I cant remember.. I think you have an angle, and they will nip. Just keep trying other food and see if he liks them. Maybe someone else camgive you some better advise.

Maybe. It doesnt seem to bother other corals, not that I have a lot at the moment. It just seems to like this one.
Thanks for the responses. I guess what I would like to hear is someone else had a similar issue and got the fish to feed on something else.
