You're probably right. The fish poops a fluorescent green slime that I swear would even glow in the dark.

huh this fish seems to have done a lot less damage than i had expected. since you mention the really bright poop... have you ever tried putting the poop under actinic only lighting and see if it fluoresces? im actually half serious

I don't see it having any use for the coral's fluorescent pigments so maybe they pass largely undigested (although i would be greatly surprised if they haven't been denatured and are nonfunctional)?

I was curious how this guy is doing. Any updates?

Death by Tunze, sorry folks.

Are you planning on trying this again.

Yes, but not right now with the current setup. I've never lost a fish to a tunze before so I don't want to get another one unless I can be sure it won't happen again. I also want to make sure I have a few more colonies of millepora as it was definitely a favorite and since I only had the one it did take a good beating.
