Well I must admit I had well over a 1000..... yes 1000 :redface: aptasia it actually looked really cool and 6 months later I can finally say I see no more in my tank there is still a bunch in the sump and the overflow but he cannot reach them.....he has quadrippled in size to about the size of a small yellow tang

maybe I should put a top on my tank :O never thought him to be a jumper....picked mine up at marine aquaria a couple months ago and he eats aptasia like a champ :) plus all his color changing is impressive

Does anyone have this fish in with sps/lps corals? Does it bother your corals?

i have one in a reef tank with everything under the moon and it bothers nothing, and the aiptasia will grow back when hes gone i removed 3 small pieces of rock that was once covered in aiptasia then was "eaten" by my matted filefish and i watched him nibble it numerous times ,the 3 pieces were covered again in no time once put in a different tank by themselves:)

I had to rehome my "tomentosus" Filefish because he ate Zoas and bit all my several different species of brain corals enough to create little white peck marks all over them. I did witness him doing both these heinous acts. :twised: He didn't bother any of my SPS corals or Nepthea.

I've had mine a few months now, he doesn't touch anything but aptaisia in my tank, I have SPS, LPS and clams. I do NOT have any more aptaisia !

He eats frozen mysis really well, so no concerns with running out of food.
