I've posted this before, but it just seems like it fits here:


I have lots of predatory fishes at home. I'll try and get some time for a photo shoot later.

Grrrreat topic for FOTW!

Does this count as a predator? (wmv file)

Sped up 8x, btw. And the black thing is a Krill eyeball...

Here are my preditors:

Dwarf Fuzzy Lion:



Marine Betta:



Heres a pic of my grass puffer, (takifugu niphobles)



And my poor yellow tail hamelt, who passed away, he was given to me for free from the LFS, he only had one eye and was rather scratched up, he sure was a fighter!






Also my most fierce preditor is the Arrowhead Puffer in my avatar, she loves to eat fingers!

Is that a nudibranch? If so... is it eating your corals and are you letting it do that?

I don't think this a Nudibranch, looks more like a pretty good sized fireworm. Beautiful creature for sure.
Here's couple of pics I took whilst visiting LFS last year.

This is a picture I took while diving in Cozumel. Not sure what it is...and yes, it was definitely eating that coral.
