If you have access to this spot, you might find a bunch of tropicals at another Shinnecock spot (I used to fish there for years with a guy who was alocal super sharpie.

There is an Island on the east side of the bridge on the north. There is atremendous eeel grass flat off of the Northwest corner. If you can geta boatto the Island, you can drag it. I don;t know any other spot in the bay with so much eel grass.

Anyone knows how to feed the above quartet? Are they herbivore or carnivore? I've tried cyclop-eez, formula 1 & 2, sinking pellets, with no success.

They like to bury in the sand and leave only their eyes above the sand and pounce on their prey, they may have bodily erosion without any fine sand, if they are left on a bare bottom tank, they may try to constantly dig in.
Frozen mysis will be accepted, their mouth is huge and if they think they can possibly eat it, they will. If need be, live foods will always be taken. They are voracious.

Thanks, Joe and Tom, for the information.

I'll get some live food and sand this weekend. If they insist no eating, I'll send them to where they came from.

I also got this wrasse-like quick-moving fish from the collecting trip and he eats flakes! ID please? Is he reef safe?

 

[fishome25]

sounds like someone wasn't paying attention to Todd's speech. its a cunner, doesn't like warm temps and can be kind of nasty.

 

[romain]
