Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've heard that these guys are polyp-eaters only. True or not? I'm looking to get some Toadstool Leather Coflake, Brain Coflake, and Plate Coflake. Would appreciate your input.

Brain and plate corals are the most susceptible to being eaten. The likelihood of them sticking to a polyp-only diet is roughly 50-50, so it's a bit of a gamble.

Yeah, my experience is they definitely go for brains and plates, and also have a thing for fuzzy SPS like pocillipora, millepora, and stylophora.

Agreed, they seem to like brains, plates, and furry SPS. I was under the impression they ate only polyps, but it seems that's not the case. I checked Live Aquaria, and they actually classify plate and brain corals as LPS, not SPS.
