Thats one ugly fish but really cool looking. I wonder if it eats clove polyps. Do you know if it does? Good job on your build. Betcha your glad you kept a tank going.

I am really glad i kept it going. It is tough working with a really small real estate. Hes definitley not going to win any beauty pagents but i like it. Ive been watching it quite a bit today. Hes nipped a few things, xenia which i thanked it for helping me. Sometimes i think hes just getting a pod or aiptasia. Its just so cool to watch it stalk and snap one of them buggers up. Really cool.

So as i expected my " model citizen" isnt perfect. Hes munching my zoas like smarties. May have nipped the acan and poccilipora but thats unconfirmed. I can get upset at all though, hes wiped my aiptasia and flatworm problem up in less then a week. Im trying twice a day feedings but its not slowing him down so up goes a frag tank. Im not upset or mad at all just because i expected this and no ones perfect.

So I cant find a smiley of someone eating there own words. Yaaaa, my nice red brain in the above pics, not so nice. I was watching him tonight, and ya I think we all know what im going to say. 3 mouths. Gone. Its currently in the temporary frag tank till I can find a tank thats the size that I want puking its guts out. Literally. 2" strings of innerds. Darn..........

Acan is joining everything. Man, any steps forward on that one has gone backwards. He did a number on it, i should of removed it when i suspected it, my fault. Man..... *sigh*

Its ok though ( at least im telling myself that ) its still a great fish, no aiptasia, no flatworms. Its a tradeoff i guess. I half expected it and did it knowing this was a possibility. I cant get angry at anyone.

Mine was also nipping stuff but he was easy to catch as the clam did not take kind to getting nipped.

In just a couple of days its done what took my butterfly two years to do. Yikes! What a ravenous fish... The good news is that FOWLR tanks infested with aptasia seem to be pretty common in the area. You shouldn't have a problem selling him if you decide to. Will it eat Acropora?
