Raccoon Butterfly
I am looking for opinions on adding a raccoon butterfly to a 7 month old 120g. The tanks curent inhabitance are 2 tangs (hippo and yellow), 5 dispar anthias, a purple firefish and 3 cleaner shrimp. Plus various crabs and snails. The tank has a 17g fuge and a 20g sump with a skimmer. Although I am ready to take my zoos out, is it possible that the raccoon would leave them alone.

I would remove the zoos otherwise the raccoon will eat them.

Yeah thats what I thaught, zoos out.
|
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm new to the site. What's a "zoo" in this context?
My raccoon is coming out of QT tomorrow and I had to move 2 starfish from the main over to the fuge so they wouldn't get eaten. |
Zoos are Zoanthid corals. They are very similar to anemones except some are alot more colourful and all of them are alot smaller.

Oh yeah.
welcome to the site. perky |
Will he eat any shrimp in there.
|
I am not too sure actually. I know that he will eat corals, tube worms etc but not too sure on shrimps and crabs. Personally, I would not take the chance with shrimp.

Should be fine with the shrimps. Just watch the corals.
|
Other than the zoo's what other Class of corals is the Racoon laible to eat? I have seen some work great in xenia tanks, not touching a one. Just worried about my mushrooms if I were to add a Racoon to my tank in the future.
|
I think that mushrooms are zoos to be precise.

I had no idea that Zoa's similar to anemones.... Could you provide reference on this? [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by perky [/i] [B]I think that mushrooms are zoos to be precise. perky [/B][/QUOTE] Or this one Any information how this fish deals with the toxin of the Zoa? (known to be one of them most potent in nature) |
Well thanks for your advice but I got myself a copperbanded instead. Figured he would be a good addition. Since I already have yellow fish, the copperbandeds orange will add to the colour scheme. He is about 3 inches long and seams to eat out of the water column. I put a rock covered in feather dusters into his qt tank so he can pick at it and pick he does. He will have a field day when I put him in my 120, it has tons of feather dusters all over the place.
