Marie, I think your Achilles is nuts!

Mine is only a little crazy compared to yours. He is pretty much the only fish I've been unable to take a decent photo of. So that should provide some idea of how much he moves around.

While mine eats most everything, there is no doubt that he would prefer to just eat nori constantly. I would recommend leaving a few strips of nori all over that QT...stuck to the walls, elastic'd to a rock. Eventually, he's bound to pick at one.

here is an update of him, hes eating!!! yeah!!!! he was peaking on the red macro that I put it in for him, hes eating nori and mysis as well but still pretty shy, he only eats when I am not around so I have to hide in a corner and he started to eat the mysis that was floating around. another good sign is that he got no more ich, bravo!!! I am thinking to have him in there for 2 more days, what do you guys think?
day 2

With an Achilles, it is kind of luck of the draw. I have had mine now for just over 2 years. I quarantined him for about 4 wks when I first got him. He developed ich in the quarantine tank, which I treated with cooper. I then put him into my display tank and have never had an issue since then. He is definitely the most active fish in my tank as well. One issue I never had to deal with, was him eating. He ate nori, mysis and pellets right from day one. IMO definitely one of the most striking and beautiful fish out there. Good luck!

he's a good boy; I have 2 types of blasto and sunflower he wont bother at all, except sometime when he's hungry he will nip at my bottom polyp (not a big deal).
