He is turning into quite an acquisition. He isn't afraid of anything in the tank including the 6" Sohal, who exerts his "authority" on everyone.
Here he is getting right in the mix at the veggie clip. I'm totally surprised at his tenacity and how he's adapted to "foreign" food stuff. I haven't seen him go after a polyp in days. That doesn't mean he hasn't, just that I haven't witnessed it. I still hesitate to give them a blanket OK recommendation. I would need to find another, or two, to confirm my suspicions. That being, current literature is out of date with reality. We'll see. I've had him for two months. On Monday I'm going to Ft Lauderdale to get another 100 bags of
Aragonite. On the way back I'll swing into the
LFS where I bought him. I'll see if they'll call me when another comes in.
I am experiencing the same problems with the Zebra hermits. I will recommend people NOT get them when ordering from IPSF. I've witnessed them doing the same things in my tank. When I find them perched on top of my SPS corals, that's beyond the limit. They are removed and literally tossed into the
refugium. I've decided, when the aquaculture facility is up and running they will go into the
LR curing tubs. Maybe not the initial curing tub but the secondary one.
