Matted Filefish Acreichthys tomentosus

[dreef]

"Fugly" is doing just fine with everyone,i luv him. Thank You. He loves his mysis,he gets PE,nothing but the best for him.,And can gobble them up in 2 bites greedily.He decimated every aptasia that i had,and they were starting to form colonies.Cant see a one too this day anywhere.No zoas in my tank or brains,so no worries.The acropora are only a place too sleep at night.He sleeps pointing his face down in the acro of his choice.

Just wanted to update, seems like covering the tank made all the difference. He's been here roughly a year and a half.

I could swear that this fish sheds. He gets a real yellow sheen, then disappears for a few days and I think he's dead. In fact, we are sure we found a floating yellow tail....

Then he reappears all shiny and new and back to brownish. Anyone seen anything like that?

So this guy was here for almost three years.

In the one week since he disappeared (and his skeleton reappeared on my urchin) the aiptasia has gone nuts.

I need another one asap. Any ideas where to get???

Found one at Gold today, thank goodness!
