i got one too i need to get rid of for the same reason. i ended up putting it in a 10g with dead coral. they are great for fish only tanks, although some have been able to keep them in reefs if they keep them fat on other foods. they say they leave the coralline alone if you feed them directly, but i still wouldn't chance it in my tank. <img src="graemlins//silly.gif" border="0" alt="[silly]" />
