Oh yeah, I forgot about that... some of these can shed their outer skin, and any algae or encrusting organisms with it, and will do so every so often. But I think I'll agree with Drock on this, I would shade it so it doesn't get overtaken (which I understand can happen quite easily with these).

I'm hoping you have some success with this, it is absolutely gorgeous... and perhaps I'll learn something for when I get a gorg, though it will likely be photosynthetic... but learning new things is good!

I've wondered about that to tell you the truth. My yellow tang and flame angel have both been spotted picking off of it. No flesh is missing so it's probably diatoms.
