it can be a sign of not enough calcium in the diet. do you ever offer cuttlebone?

It's fine so long as you peel the plastic backing stuff from it.

Thanks. I'm in the middle of trying to build an atba for them and just trying to figure out which wood is safe.

Some RES are also extra aggressive. You might want to look into a different dock (acrylic above tank, pvc/tile, cork).
