very impressive DIY skills, really like the long nose butterfly and feeder and that gorgeous Angel you have, do these fish bother your corals much?

dAKOTA that butterfly feeder is a neat idea, as well as the rest of the setup. I will rig something up like your feeder for my long nose. Very nice work!

What kind of food are you feeding the butterfly, it looks really healthy. I have been feeding mysis the couple weeks I have had mine.

THanks, Jeff

Elliot - I've had good luck with both fish in my tank. As I recall, I've had my LNB for over five years now and he's never done anything worse than peck a snail and that only happens rarely. My Majestic Angel has been with me for a couple of years and he's generally well-behaved. He likes to graze the mucus on a particular patch of red zoanthids in the tank. Funny, its only the one type of zoanthid that he seems to pester and they must not be too bothered because they've multiplied nicely for me.

He also checks out any newly added SPS frag in the tank, but after one quick taste he's done and never bothers them again......knock on wood.

Willjeff - Good luck with your LNB. I think they are a wonderful fish. Mysis seems to work well at keeping the weight on. I also feed mine several varieties of the frozen "formula" type cubes. I feed one frozen cube per day and he gets most of it. (The other fish have figured out how to bump the feeder once the cube pieces get small enough to float out the holes.) Many people report good luck feeding small clams from the local grocery store but my shrimp and brittle starfish always made off with them before my butterfly could get a meal. Thats why I made the feeder.

Lunch - Let me know if there's a good time this week - I can probably make it most anytime that works for you.

Travis - That digitata recently started to really take off. I'm going to have to start fragging it to protect my Pink Birdsnest thats about to be over-run. Now as long as I don't go back and look at your tank again I'll be happy with how mine looks!!
