I posted this is Clowns and anemes but think it may be more appropriate here.......
Wth????
I have a goldstriped maroon pair. The male has three times now shown up with something in his mouth that looks like a small length of fishing line, about a quarter inch. The first two times I gave it a couple of days, then gently caught him and pulled it out of his mouth. There is a lot of resistance too it, then it lets go with a POP, like something is breaking off. Now its back, only this time he has two, one on each side, It looks like plastic Fu Manchu type mustache LOL!! Before I go fishing again, is ther ANY normal reason this could be happening too him, and him only? I have thouroghly searched the tank and see nothing that would have that in it. I am now guessing the food? I feed a little frozen prime reef and crushed up formula 2 flakes in the am, then a light SanFranBay brand angel and butterfly and more flakes in the evening. I look, but wow its a tiny bit of line so would be very easy too miss. Hopefully someone has had some experience and came name the problem food? I have a pic, but no idea how too get it posted.
Thanks.
I hace sinbce figured out posting pics (I think) so.. here goes
You can see it in the corners of his mouth. Here is another view..
He eats fine, no scratching, no personality changes at all. Sould I go pull it out again? You have too pull pretty hard too get it.. hard too beleive it does not hurt.
Thanks for the help..
