Matted Filefish Acreichthys tomentosus

[Delphinus]

The thought occurred to me too that I wonder what he'll move onto when the aiptasia is all gone. However, mine eats mysis (in fact, it's the only time I see him: about 30 seconds each day - I put in the mysis, he materializes out of nowhere, chases down each mysis shrimp, zip, zap, zot .... and then poof, disappears again. I can't believe how good he is at camoflaging and hiding). So hopefully that will be good enough to keep him placated..

Yah, mine is a mysis pig as well, and I have lots of soft coral for him to eat, zoos etc. so he should be okay. Very cool fish.

Tony, can you please get your fish to forward the email to my file fish? I ran out the next day, after reading the start of this thread, and bought one from Colby. He does not seem to eat the nems at all. He is however one of the happiest little additions to my tank. He ate out of my hand right from the day I got him. He is always waiting for someone to visit him through the glass and gets all excited when someone pays mind to him. Perhaps one day he may grow up and get a job eating nems. For now he is content on being waited on. OMG I think I bought a teenager!!!! (except the fish is happy and the teen is not)

Just wanted to update.

I started feeding some marine cuisine, at first he only went after the mysis bits, but by the third feeding was eating all the red bits too !

Now he even eats prime reef flake.

Oh, and zoos !
