thats a beauty. I think they are like mandarins in that, if you are prepared to meet their needs then you should be fine.

I just find it funny how everyone is so concerned about how this may be potentially cruel to the fish... but what about all those poor corals that are about to get eaten?? and nobody cares ahahah

I thought corals we're animals too so why is no one hugging them...?? oh its ok if it's the cycle of life... and yet personal enjoyment does not fall in to that cycle?? ahah I'm amused

Nice Fish!

We don't hug corals because they're sharp!

It's okay, I don't mind being beat up for being on the fish-hugger side...I'd hate to be on the fish-abuser side

But remember, I've been there with SPS eating fish, my Moo, the Pakistani butterfly...trust me when they eat the polyps out, they don't grow back....

So where would the fish go next?

Anyway....that's just the way I see it...

I have a polyp eating regal angel, the polyps on my sps grow back. It takes awhile though

I have the tassled version of filefish in my aggressive/predator tank..they eat anything and are doing great...you have a real pretty fish there though, hope it does as well as mine are....keep the updated pics coming.

Interesting... I would of thought some would grow back. If his polyps don't grow back I'm guessing he'll need to eventually buy some more sps.

Did your angel only eat sps or did it eat other food as well? Just curious as to why your sps grew back while EmilyB's didn't.

Emily, if the SPS are not replaced with more SPS, the fish gets flushed or starves.
But in the meantime they are beautiful pictures, arn't they?
