I noticed tonight after the lights went out that one of my peppermints is picking at my new bubble coral. Sometimes it jumps on it and then jumps back other it will sit on it for a few seconds with its claws and legs going like crazy. The bubble will shrink back sometimes and others not do anything. Is the peppermint trying to eat or just looking for some left over food on the bubble? (I did target feed the bubble tonight for the first time) So far the bubble is doign great and seems to love my tank I just dont want anything to start causing it to go downhill. Thanks

He is stealing the food for sure,,,, I don't have peppermints anymore for this reason,, they can rip an anemone apart trying to get a meal. They couldn't handle the sting of my carpet anemone but the BTA's sting didn't bother them one bit.

My skunk cleaner is the same but now I hand feed him a little piece of whatever I'm feeding to keep him occupied. Maybe I should have tried that with the peppermints :)

I've never had a bubble coral so I don't know how tough they are,,, I can't imagine it's too good for them though.
