Jeez, I would be tempted too! Is he eating frozen foods too? I think you have the right idea with the divider. Good luck with him! It's nice to see someone doing it the right way.

Could you share who the vendor was that was willing to quarantine this difficult to keep species for you for such a length of time? They could use some praise.

I hope everything goes good. Its finally good to see someone put up a post on a sensitive fish and NOT have some douchetard calling you out and telling you to return it to the fish store. Nice fish and good plan that you thought up.

The "douchetards" often have very good reason to be concerned about a fish that is "near impossible" to keep that is usually just dumped into a reef and told "good luck little buddy". Marko is making a good effort to treat this fish properly and is going out of his way to try to provide the fish what it needs. Big difference.

Great looking fish. I really love these although it's doubtful I'll ever have a tank large enough for my liking to house one. Great news that he's eating, that's certainly half the battle with these fish. Best of luck.

Always loved this type of fish. I tried twice and failed. I hope you have better luck
