Post another pic will ya, I'm kinda likin the nudi's...

hey rockinsmalll, is their diet on sps/corals really that massive they're hard to keep?
I think that was the main thing I've seen, is they eat so much of a particular thing, and most don't have em, so they die/wipeout the tank....

 

its true, they do eat very specific things.

the first one pictured eats leathers... so i feed it frags of crown leather.

the next one seems to eat algae or something, i dont know. it just showed up on day on the glass at half an inch long. My local club members said to throw it out b/c it could be predetory... so, i kept it right in my main tank! it has doubled in size and ive never once seen it on a coral, always on the rock or on the glass. this is my favorite.

The last one hangs out in the sand, and i nearly never see it, i dont know what it eats. it has not grown from what i can tell.

I am excited for my new addition from fishbrain! i am gunna set up a lil 8 gallon biocube for my new little critter and the leather eater!

sooo.... who has an 8g cube for sale???

 

yeah post a pic of the guy, i would be interested in seeing it.

 

are the colored circular spots on its back plated? Also if so are there 8 of them? It may end up being a chiton. I have seen some pretty interesting ones.

Just my two cents
