Default FS: Matted filefish (Calgary)

Matted Filefish (Acreichthys tomentosus), aka mottled leatherjacket, about 2".

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...62&pcatid=2562

Cool little fish, bought him because I really like filefish ... and to tackle the out of control aiptasia in my 40g carpet tank.

However .... he's not eating the aiptasia. Which ordinarily wouldn't be a concern to me, but in the interest of full disclosure, I think he is going after my LPS. Have not witnessed him doing anything, so can't be 100% sure, but since his introduction, my torch coral and my Acan's have been losing heads. So add with caution (or not at all) if you have LPS.

FWIW, candycane, Duncans and bubble coral are not affected. Nor are the gorgonians, clams, zoanthids or palythoas. Also the anemones (2 carpets, 2 BTA's, one in fact that is 1/2" - 3/4" in size) appear to be of no interest to him.

Eats mysis and frozen no problem. I don't know if he recognizes pellets and flake as food as the tank in question doesn't really get that on a regular basis.

Anyhow, think I paid $35 for him plus tax. Would sorta like to recover most of that, so offering up at $35 OBO.
