Nah not really any interest in other food. I've read of others having success with frozen food but it's extremely rare.

I had one of these guys and he ate more hair algea and sand than SPS, also took pellets and frozen angle food I smeared into a rock, I thought it was a female and tried to pair it up with a male but he killed the first one then ate nothing and died:cry:, but if i see a healthy one iam going to try again, great fish for sure

How is this fish doing? Is he still eating SPS polyps exclusively? How are the SPS doing?

I am curious, and I apologize if already been asked/mentioned. How long, roughly, does it take for the new polyps to grow back on SPS (moreso the acro's and so on..) ?? Obviously you've got enough SPS in there to keep him going. Like I say, just curious...

Fish is good, SPS also all look healthy just don't show much polyp extension during the day anymore but polyp extension at night seems normal. And yes only eating SPS polyps with the occasional interest in zoo skirts but no frozen food interest what so ever.

I would be curious on this as well, I can't say for sure how long it takes as it's pretty hard to keep track and I don't pay that much attention. All I can say for sure is that they do grow back in what seems to be a reasonable time frame.

I am not at this same level of experience to even be able to make much comment aside of the tank and fish are beautiful. As an observation from gardening though, we pick back buds, stems and stalks to enocourage more growth from our plants. We divide plants to allow them space to grow or they snuff themselves out. If we pick back one bud, two will grow back in its place. If we divide one plant we can make two or more, since it is not fighting for space and food.

Could it be possible that adding this fish to his tank will be beneficial to the corals growing in it, since the fish is essentially doing what a gardener does to promote growth? I dunno, it's just a newbie observation and I have no proof or knowledge that it might happen, but it could.

This is a picture took yesterday of my yellow mille. This coral is by far the fishes favorite. As you can see not much for polyp extension but still looks healthy.

Seems to be doing just fine. A little less hairiness is an insignificant cost to pay if the fish is doing fine. :)

Yeap, it's beneficial in my mind as I get better color from a lot of my SPS since some have brown polyps.

Gorgeous milli... and photo.
