In your article describing the genus Centropyge, you mention that filamentous algea a good food source for the critters. I love my C. bispinosa "Coral Beauty" and he seems pretty happy constantly pecking at the rocks. He's even volunterred to keep the 'pod population in check, and I didn't even have to ask - is that a nice fish or what?
I've recently had some success _not_ growing hair algae, and was wondering if that was a good food source for them? I've got some Caulerpa sp. of macroalgea in the tank as well. He seems to nibble on the tender new growth sometimes. I've decided to get some more varieties of macroalgae, and perhaps get rid of the Caulerpa - is there a preferred macroalgae that they like?
Comment: After reading each article of yours, my first thought is the changes I need to make in order to raise whatever fish of the month that you've written about! But it was love at first sight seeing a Marine Betta (sigh).
Just to sneak in another question:
I've got the "Coral Beauty", I'd love to get a "Comet", some "Neon Gobies" and some sort of a algae eating blenny. Will that combination work out - given a 70 gallon reef tank? Room enough for something else with color?
Ok just one more:
Have you written an article about any blennies that are herbivorous? I couldn't find one. If not - sure would be nice to see one in the next 6 months or so!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
