Very nice fish! the one I had turned into a LPS nightmare. I had to sell it.

Really?

Did she eat them?

Mine has never eaten any of my corals. She just keeps moving them!

The brain recovered but it did killed the brain of the other guy who bought the tang (he knew what mine was doing). The tang did not eat it what it was doing is strees the brain to the point that it will spell the zoantelly (spelling) or whatever brown stuff is inside the brain and it will eat that, so the brain stayed closed all the time causing it to receide. Also I had a sailfin tang that I sold a few weeks ago that liked my acans!!!. I'm done with tangs. both tangs were fat too, so I don't think it was diet.

Wow thats crazy.

I think your correct. Anytime a fish gets a taste for corals, you can't just up your feeding and make them loose their taste for something. Fish are natural grazers, if they get a taste for something then thats it.

Mine does not do this, she is just a PITA. Reminds me of my old cats. If anything was moved, they would get upset by it.

Nice seeing your fish

Nice seeing your fish

It was nice seeing you and your wild hippo tang at Seven Seas today. I would have taken it but she/he is just to large for my tank.

Hope we meet again some day.

Thanks,

Jeff

Yep. I traded for a giant clam plus cash

Wow, I think I saw that clam. I just started visiting that shop. I also visit Ocean Direct. They are both good.

Sea in the city is another great LFS, if you haven't been there you should go check it out.

A interesting fact about seven seas is their peppermint shrimp seem to always eat aptasia. I've had two sets of them from there (had to nuke the first set with interceptor) and both sets chewed them up.
