    Have a large Coral Beauty for sale, Asking $30 obo. I had this guy for over two years and believe he maybe the reason I'm slowing losing some zoa colonies. I been battling dying zoas for the past 4-5 months and believe he is irritating them enough to close and die. I currently have a fish trap stuck inside the tank so please understand maybe a week before I get him out.

    I'll post a good photo tomorrow after work when lights are on.

    Are you ever towards central Iowa? I could trade some zoas or even meet you. Why are you getting rid of him? Is he nipping corals?

    From what I can tell he does nip or peck at coral. It does not appear to be damaging the coral and originally thought maybe he was just picking at algae at the surface. Every blue moon he nips at my orange and green acan which is doing great. He has nipped at this coral for 4+ months and thing is still puffed out and doing good with no signs of death. However on the other side I also notice he does nip at my zoas, again they close and open right back up after a few seconds, but on the other side I am experiencing some dying zoas. I consider my system to be very stable and my water quality to be spot on. I have tried over 6 different remedies of dips to try and find a reasoning my zoas are dying with nothing found. I recently witnessed a friends pygmy angel nip at his zoa. This causing his zoas to have open sores where other critters could attack with infection setting in. So to continue my exploration on reasoning i'm losing zoas my next approach is to start selling off inverts and fish that even get close. Eventually I'll find the problem or I'll slowly sell everything and start over. This is in mind I can keep almost every other coral.

    I'm also open to trade for other fish or corals.
