So cool to see you got a weedfish too, I have to say you got a much better pic. of yours then I did of mine.

We were going to buy that anemone shrimp, but we were worried if it tried to host in the gbta the clownfish would harass it, and if it didn't have somewhere safe to stay my trigger or wrasse might make a meal out of it, however they leave my sexy and peppermint shrimp alone, so it might not of been an issue, but I didn't want to find out the hard way if it was. Nice to see it went to a good home.

I posted the pics on my NR thread as well and looky what someone said it was http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/6896/product.web That's exactly it. I wonder if the crested weedfish and the horned blenny are one in the same?

Hi I saw that you had a weedfish. I can't find any information about this fish on the internet.
He looks to be "reef Safe" am I wrong? Did you have it released in your tank. Did he eat any of yours shrimps?

Sorry, but I got one myself and I am just worried that it could destroy my corals or eat all members of my tank.

Any toughts about this fish? Below is my weedfish, in different colors. It is a crested weedfish from Australia. The big mouth concerns me

He was an awesome little fish but unfortunately I didn't have him long enough to be able to answer you're question. I honestly don't know how much I would trust the bigger ones......the way mine would sit and oogle my fish was a little alarming and he was very fiesty when it came to feeding time.

He was in my sump for a short time and disappeared on me, never did find him. He was so cute and I wasn't happy about losing him, I would have set him up in his own tank if he had of survived.
I know Laurie had the same one at one point and I think she lost hers too.

Question WeedFish

It is in the acrylic box, now over 72 hours.
I am afraid to release it.
The live stock are:
1 Firefish
1 Yellow Dawsel
2 Red Hand Shrimp
1 Bandid Shrimp
2 Nudibranch
3 Biscuit Starfish
2 Herimit Crabs

I als have many corals, SPS, LPS, Zoos, Sponges...

By the time you had your did you notice it eating corals or picking at something?

I will keep it in the intank acrylic box until it start to eat properly, I haven't see the weedfish eating anyting yet. I tried a few types of frozen food and nothing. I will try live bait and see how it goes.

So I'm sitting watching the tank and all of a sudden I see hundreds of teeny tiny shrimp. I think it's my new anemone shrimp releasing the eggs but then I notice one of my sexy shrimp happily expelling all her babies. I stuck my hand in and scooped some up and they sat on my hand and did little tiny jumping movements just like the adults. I'm so ticked that I'm not set up to raise these guys. I guess it's good food for my filter feeders and corals though.
