That is great!
I wish I had that Batfish but I understand they require a LARGE aquarium to host them, of which I ahve no room or finances for.

haha.... dont remind me what they turn into! I'm hoping he will decide to stay young and pretty...

We've had him for over 2 months now and he's a real pig. It took a few days to get him eating Selcon enriched brine shrimp, but now he fights with our snowflake moray for krill. He'll eat anything we throw in there. Made quick work of our aptasia too. :P

It was a moral dilemma when purchasing this guy. We knew how hard they were to feed, how big they get, and what the success rate was in captivity, so we really didnt want to support the capture of these beautiful little fishies. But after seeing him at J&L we almost felt a need to "save" him since it was likely many of the hobbyests who would purchase him would not have the patience to get him eating. It took 2 days of me squirting a few brine shrimps in the tank every 10 minutes and then running to hide behind the couch so I didnt spook him.

I think the aptasia may have gotten his appetite going, though.
