I don't know about nipping. I had a Flame angle totally wipe out a Stylophora and Monti colony on me. And he would have wiped out my Favia and Acan if he didn't naturally die when he did. I had plans to remove him, but he died before I could. I had him for about 2 years. He was fine for almost a year, then he just picked for about 7 months. Then he just went crazy and really started doing damage and killed a few colonies. And the whole time I fed well, and always had nori in the tank once a day.
