Agreed, but some take it to another level accusing others of being irresponsible but by their reasoning we're all monsters, hypercritical. That's all I was saying.

thats a beauty. I think they are like mandarins in that, if you are prepared to meet their needs then you should be fine.

I just find it funny how everyone is so concerned about how this may be potentially cruel to the fish... but what about all those poor corals that are about to get eaten?? and nobody cares ahahah

I thought corals we're animals too so why is no one hugging them...?? oh its ok if it's the cycle of life... and yet personal enjoyment does not fall in to that cycle?? ahah I'm amused

Nice Fish!

We don't hug corals because they're sharp!

It's okay, I don't mind being beat up for being on the fish-hugger side...I'd hate to be on the fish-abuser side

But remember, I've been there with SPS eating fish, my Moo, the Pakistani butterfly...trust me when they eat the polyps out, they don't grow back....

So where would the fish go next?

Anyway....that's just the way I see it...

Emily, if the SPS are not replaced with more SPS, the fish gets flushed or starves.
But in the meantime they are beautiful pictures, arn't they?

There have been some threads on RC that speculated that systematically fragging small pieces off corals actually speeds growth. I can't wait to see how this goes...it may even help you!
