Hello,
Today I added a beautiful Coral Hogfish - He's been at the LFS for a couple weeks now and I've gone in every day to watch his behavior in his tank and temperament - I was fascinated by his colors and behavior so after a bit of reading I decided to get him.
I read that they can become a bit of a reef eater (crabs, snails, smaller shrimps) as he becomes an adult - but my question is this - He seems to be INCREDIBLY friendly - After putting him in he wasn't hiding, he was swimming around joyfully - my melanarus wrasse and coral beauty would try a few intimidation techniques against him but more often than not it didn't phase him much - he even once turned to the coral beauty and started cleaning her scales.. I've NEVER seen such confusion from a fish before I saw that.. Haha - oops side tracked, my question!
I do have a fire shrimp and a coral branded shrimp - though both have incredible rockwork and cave networks to hide in - Has anyone found a hassle with these fish out side of the juvenile stage?
