I now have a frag making tang

[new but handy]

I was thinking tranqulizer darts in a blow gun. That's the only thing that works with my kid
One dart, right in the neck, out for hours

Remind me to call you when my daughter isn't behaving.

At least yours is just making frags....mine is eating lps.....couple hundred worth of acans by now.....the shite.

Mine has developed a taste for Clam mantles, and also seems to have decided to carry shells etc around the tank.. I'm not sure waht triggered this behaviour but I'm about to begin trying to spear him as normal attempts to capture him have been failing and I'm going to loose a lot of $$$ on the clams

Feed them more and more often.
Do you have a clip with nori hanging inside your tanks so they can eat when they want too?

Mine too eats LPS, saw him on a big piece of xenia last nite.
He also picks up snail shells and drops them where ever he wants.
Picks em up and swims backward till they fall.

Ya I keep a rock with nori on it with an elastic band.
sounds like a lot of regals do the pick stuff up and swim around thing. Mine will do laps with anything that is not fixed down. He hasn't touched my clams yet. If he starts it might be grounds for dismissal.

If your tang is a regal it is a meat eater. All other tangs are algae eaters.

If you do not feed a regal often enough and, enough meaty foods, mysis, brine scrimp etcetera, they will go after zenia and other stuff they taste and find appealing.
What are you feeding your regal?
