No problems eating here, what I feed my fish is my home made food, shrimp, scallops, formula 1 & 2, squid, garlic, mussels, cyclopeze, silversides, krill, pellets, flake, all socked in selcom. Loves nori sheets. The fish came from SITC, very active fish. It’s about 3.5 â€"œ 4â€Â

If I didn't already have a rabbit or foxface in each tank, I'd take him. I absolutely love this fish(it actually looks exactly like one of my rabbitfish). They are insanely voracious chaeto eaters. I had a macro problem, put one of them in, and the problem was gone in two days and the fish was 3X's his normal size
.
Please, someone take this fish...they are just way too cool for a sump. I, personally, have never had a rabbitfish pick at my corals and one actually chills out right next to my clam without any second thought about touching it...are you sure it was,'t just eating algae at the base/off the shell?

If nobody takes it, in a few days I might be able to find it a home in one of my tanks(now that my 180G is up and running, it's soon time to do the big switch).

Ok, it's back on the display now, I can't stand the poor guy been in the sump for some reason looked like it liked it there, it will go from chamber to chamber thru the baffles, pretty funny it was in the skimmer compartment this morning and as soon I open the doors it went to the fuge to get fed , I arranged the corals around and I'm going to increase feeding a little and see if it changes it's behavior, at least it is easy to catch.
cschweitzer: let me know when you get the 180 going and if you are still interested on the fish, also how are your Roes duncans doing? mine have about 8 babies and my ORAs about 2 babies but they are not opening fully like they used to, they have been closed for about 3 weeks but not receiding which is a good thing, maybe is not even the foxface fault because they didn't open fully when it was in the sump. I suspect the cowfish but you can tell when it bites, it doen't leave anything left so I don't think is it. Any other ideas, all the fish I have are in my signature. Paramenters are good, just did a 20G water change over the weekend.
PH 8.0 - 8.3 - alk 8.4 DKH, salinity 1.026, nitrates .5, phosphates 0, Cal 400 +/-. Everything else is fine.
