Matted Filefish Acreichthys tomentosus

[JPotter]

I have had one for several months now. The aptaisia are no long evident..occasionally I see a tiny one but soon disappears. I think if I banished the file fish the aptaisia would take over again It readily eats mysis and other frozen stuff. I have not seen it eat anything else but have to admit my zoas look pruned and certainly aren't spreading like they used to. I really don't want an aptaisia tank again.

Are these fish pretty shy?? i got one last week, and haven't seen it since.

Ya, they tend to hide a lot. Once they get used to who feeds them they will come out when you approach.
