I have a good size golden head gobie that has made it his hobbie to sift sand over my newly added (1 - 2 months) corals. My mushrooms and button polyps seem to be able to shake it off, but my flower leather is getting a collection of sand in the base of each "flower." I tried to move the coral to gently shake it out, but it has grown a lot and attached itself to a large rock that doesn't lend itself to movement. I've also tried blowing it off with a powerhead but would hate to damage or stunt the coral. Will this be a big problem long term?
I hope that's not an idiot question. :D TIA!
