Ya if you really like the fish then overfeeding is the only way to make them stop. My bicolor is a savage. I give him 2 sheets of nori and 2 feedings mixxed diet and he still munches. I like him alot so i tolerate it but def does not make corals happy

I love the fish haha I feed them on avg 3 times a day

No angels dont rip em apart like a butterfly. They just nip a chunk here and there. Just enough for your corals to clam up and hide

Kick back and watch you will see. The emporer is prob starved from the lfs too so he is looking for some natural food like corals

Understandable. It almost seems I could have something else going on though just not sure how to narrow it down and find the issue. There only closed rarely.

With them barely being closed I am just not seeing growth and good color.

Try 2 sheets of nori on a clip or rubberbanded to rocks at least twice a day. I notice when islack on that even for a day he starts in on munchin hard

Such a good looking fish I had a Bi color once before and loved it ahha. If only we could have the best of both worlds meaning any coral and any fish.

Did you ever watch to see if your fish was the culprit?

I watched them for about an hour from across the room and did not see anything. I wanna say its some sort of water parameters. I ordered an ICP test so I could get further into whats going on.
