Please help ! My powder blue is eating at my green start Polyp Coral and has been closed for a week now , how can I avoid this from happening

IMHO it’s doing you a favor BUT it’s your tank. Try feeding it more and vary the food you give it.

Increase your feeding a little as suggested and try algae sheets on a clip to keep him busy in that instead of the coral.

Make nori available at all times. I keep a clip always loaded in the tank and my tang as well as other fish love it.

It is possible that there is food falling into the GSP and he is going after it. if it is going after the GSP itself, as others indicated- Increase feeding but if you do, also monitor ammonia and nitrate.

I am trying to control the feeding as I have cyano starting to grow around the tank

What are you nitrates and phosphates? How old is the tank?
