Matted Filefish Acreichthys tomentosus

[Myka]

Update: I did buy a Tasseled Filefish in November last year. Shortly after my many specie of brains started showing bite marks, I never saw F'ugly bite them though. I had just added an aggressive amount of Zeolites to the tank though, so I came to the conclusion that the damage was caused by too aggressively stripping nutrients from the tank. I removed the Zeolites, and the corals recovered for the most part. In the beginning of April I witnessed F'ugly biting the Symphyllia (not just a nip, he bit it 7 times in a row), and he also took to eating Zoas (Palys were fine). F'ugly ate 5 Zoa frags, and nearly wiped out 7 Zoa colonies before I caught him and banished him to the sump. He is now happily residing in a friend's SPS dominated tank.
