Tang off of food?

Either that or it's a spoiled brat and doesn't like the idea that it'll have to share you with the coming baby
Congrats

Oh thank-you! I can't wait for all those sleepless nights again

Here's a picture of him from today when he came out of the rocks for a moment:



He eats everything I put in there but his regular diet consists of:

green marine algea with garlic and sometimes selcon
Spectrum plus garlic sinking pellets
mysis shrimp
plankton
mussels
angel and butterfly food (which is brine, mysis, and mix of a few other things)
and rarely also some marine flakes

I soak pretty much every meal in garlic and/or selcon. I alternate between all of the foods but he eats the green marine algea and the garlic soaked mysis most often. His hunger strike coincides with the addition of the new light perfectly. I never turn on the lightning mode or anything though so it seems odd that he would be so put off by the lights. The other fish couldn't care less about them. Also he's the biggest one in the tank and is not being picked on by anyone. He's always had a voracioius appetite compared to the other ones.
