I hate to tell you this, but my Koran loves three things: Kenya trees (a cool talent for those who hate them), xenia (all types) and all zoas. I tried every color known to man and he ate every single one of them. Sorry. I don't know what to tell you. On the positive side, they ignore the stony LPS corals (Maze Moons, Micidium, closed brains, etc) Drop in one of those and you will be OK. We just have to be selective with the corals we have in able to enjoy the beauty of the fish, but it can be done! Don't give up!!!

Thanks for the info doc, very sad to hear that they dont do well with zoanthids... i guess i should have done my research because now i remember reading that before. and i had just forgot about it because of how beautiful this rock was at the LFS. sad story because it went untouched for weeks

Re: 180 gallons up in this!!!! NWKRC!

yeah. it happens. Some fish will be hit and miss, but it seems as zoas are a likely target for their sampling. they start off nipping at the slime, but slowly start to eat them. It was a problem for me even when I fed 4 times a day. It might be best to see if you can turn around and sell the rock while it is still looking decent. Sorry man
