Hi I saw that you had a weedfish. I can't find any information about this fish on the internet.
He looks to be "reef Safe" am I wrong? Did you have it released in your tank. Did he eat any of yours shrimps?

Sorry, but I got one myself and I am just worried that it could destroy my corals or eat all members of my tank.

Any toughts about this fish? Below is my weedfish, in different colors. It is a crested weedfish from Australia. The big mouth concerns me

He was an awesome little fish but unfortunately I didn't have him long enough to be able to answer you're question. I honestly don't know how much I would trust the bigger ones......the way mine would sit and oogle my fish was a little alarming and he was very fiesty when it came to feeding time.

He was in my sump for a short time and disappeared on me, never did find him. He was so cute and I wasn't happy about losing him, I would have set him up in his own tank if he had of survived.
I know Laurie had the same one at one point and I think she lost hers too.

Ya I had mine for a month, maybe 2. He was eating and seemed to be doing well but then vanished into thin air and I never saw him again

It is in the acrylic box, now over 72 hours.
I am afraid to release it.
The live stock are:
1 Firefish
1 Yellow Dawsel
2 Red Hand Shrimp
1 Bandid Shrimp
2 Nudibranch
3 Biscuit Starfish
2 Herimit Crabs

I als have many corals, SPS, LPS, Zoos, Sponges...

By the time you had your did you notice it eating corals or picking at something?

I will keep it in the intank acrylic box until it start to eat properly, I haven't see the weedfish eating anyting yet. I tried a few types of frozen food and nothing. I will try live bait and see how it goes.
