Care and observations

The Coral Obliterator: Never, ever place them in a reef tank. They view 300-dollar LPS fleshy corals as their personal salad bar. They will rip the flesh right off the skeletons of your prized Trachyphyllia and Brain corals overnight. Must be fed specialized diets containing real marine sponges to avoid HLLE disease.
