I think that is a really cool idea. In fact, it sounds a lot like the kind of thing I would like to try as well. Make sure you keep us posted on how it goes.

I think it would be really interesting to find out what effect this has on your coral and how much coral is consumed in order to keep the fish healthy.

I don't think they eat anything else but will let you know if they do.

I will take pictures of the corals I notice him eating the most, continuous pictures of those corals should tell whether a sustainable food source is present.

What do you plan to do with the fish if you find it is seriously damaging your SPS?

Not sure, not really planning for the worst, just the best.

You could always send him to me, I already have someone picking at the polyps of my acros. He could eat to his hearts content

Well maybe you should have thought about it before you ordered her.
But, lets hope for the best.
