1st of december, and hes in my reef a 4 ft tank




late december, his favourite spot in the tank is hovering around my sun coral, he also like to blow the food out of the polyps so he can pig out on it




and tomorow i will post a new full tank shot so u can see how big he is now, im a bit emmbaressed cos u will see i have lost a few corals after being away from the tank for an entire month, but then again a few corals is better then loosing the entire tank so.....

thats 3 months growth, its bloody amazing, but scary also wont be long till he looks stuipd in a 4 ft tank and ill have to upgrade his palace for him!

i feed my own seafood mix, twice a day, but for the last month its been once, ive maybe seen him once take a bite out of the algea in the tank, would love him to graze a bit more but then i think i got him hooked on my feed mix, also the tank i origianlly qt'd him in had so nothing to graze on so im sure that this has effected his feeding habits.

j8851 - nah not in the slightest, ive got an opinion of why they are toxic and i dont belive my fish can die in a way in my tank that would cause him to release these toxins....
