All I hear is the jaws song as I watch it lurk around the tank, its even got the top fin. Its great. Its hard not to spook it when it takes a chunk out of an aiptasia, Im just soo excited. Hahaha. Anywho here he is.

Some of the corals seem to really like the new light as well. Really starting to make some colors pop.

Ive got a bit more cleaning to do then I will take a new FTS.

Thats one ugly fish but really cool looking. I wonder if it eats clove polyps. Do you know if it does? Good job on your build. Betcha your glad you kept a tank going.

I am really glad i kept it going. It is tough working with a really small real estate. Hes definitley not going to win any beauty pagents but i like it. Ive been watching it quite a bit today. Hes nipped a few things, xenia which i thanked it for helping me. Sometimes i think hes just getting a pod or aiptasia. Its just so cool to watch it stalk and snap one of them buggers up. Really cool.

So as i expected my " model citizen" isnt perfect. Hes munching my zoas like smarties. May have nipped the acan and poccilipora but thats unconfirmed. I can get upset at all though, hes wiped my aiptasia and flatworm problem up in less then a week. Im trying twice a day feedings but its not slowing him down so up goes a frag tank. Im not upset or mad at all just because i expected this and no ones perfect.

So I cant find a smiley of someone eating there own words. Yaaaa, my nice red brain in the above pics, not so nice. I was watching him tonight, and ya I think we all know what im going to say. 3 mouths. Gone. Its currently in the temporary frag tank till I can find a tank thats the size that I want puking its guts out. Literally. 2" strings of innerds. Darn..........

Acan is joining everything. Man, any steps forward on that one has gone backwards. He did a number on it, i should of removed it when i suspected it, my fault. Man..... *sigh*

Its ok though ( at least im telling myself that ) its still a great fish, no aiptasia, no flatworms. Its a tradeoff i guess. I half expected it and did it knowing this was a possibility. I cant get angry at anyone.
