My Long Nose Butterfly Fish decided that he'd try taking a bite out of a manilla clam that I sometimes feed my tank with. Only this time the clam decided he'd bite back!
Poor old Butterfly had his long nose stuck!
After trying to shuck the clam without stressing the fish out too much, he decided to leave a tiny part of his bottom lip behind & released himself.
Was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time but I kinda feel bad as he's a bit damaged now
Next time I'll not be lazy & open the clam first...
He's now sulking at the back of my tank. Hope he's okay.
