Is the butterfly eating?

 

[Herk]

Very nice additions you got there.

 

[dirk_brijs]

Is the butterfly eating?

yep
first 2 days he had a hard time with a yellow tang in the tank but he seem very comfortable right now. Nipping on rocks and eating whenever fed.
I make my own frozen food with a mix of fresh tuna and seafoods (mussels,oyster,shrimp,squid,venus clams), dried cyclpoze, phytoplakton, frozen cyclopeze, zooplankton, "petlife" perfect food, arcti pods, "reef nutrition" rotifer diet, "two little fishies" marine snow, "aquavitro" Vitamine Fuel.

Do you have any type of corals in the tank ? If you do the butterfly is not messing with them??

That is a xanthurus not a mertensii...

Awesome. That is a very beautiful fish. Good luck to you.

 

[dirk_brijs]

well it wasn't or isn't so awesome anymore.
Forget about the description reef safe with caution THEY ARE NOT reef safe AT ALL
Now the fun task of trying to get him out of the tank is staring at me.
Any advise on how?

 

[small alien]

I'm not so sure that even my reef is reef safe. I've got an RBTA on the move after a split and its not fun for my other cnidarians.

 

[dirk_brijs]

all is good again.
broke down half my set up and took him out.
He or she is currently in my fuge where he can only destroy my cheato so no worries no more.
