Then one day out of the blue it tried some mysis and now eats pretty much any frozen meaty foods. It has also erradicated the tank of all aiptasia and dusters. If only it would develop a liking for majanos.

I guess I got lucky with mine to, I got it from ocean aquatics 4 yrs ago and it spent 2 months in quarantine before being tossed to the wolves in the display. It is probably the most aggressive feeder in my tank, he literally shoves his nose inside the turkey baster to get the mysis before anyone else and there are 2 fat mandarins in my tank as well.....

Tried some time ago and would not ever consider trying again.

In my opinion this fish is best left in the ocean and never imported by LFS.

The statistics are too horrific.

And thats OP for your posting.
