I have a 1.5 inch Aiptasia eating file fish captive bred that is listed as reef compatible with caution and not to house with small invertebrates. I had purchased him for my 100 gallon tank to live with my tangs and eat my aiptasia. BUT upon his arrival he is this tiny shy little fish... and I don't know how he will compete for food in this tank? This tank was meant to be FOWLR. other inhabitants: Blue tang / yellow tang / hali wrasse / blue spotted puffer / flame angel.
I also have a smaller 48 gallon reef... that houses 2 ornamental shrimp and a banded goby w/ a paired pistol shrimp. Along with emerald crabs / electric blue hermit crab / and soft corals / BTA. Will he really eat my ornamental shrimp???
My question is has anyone ever experienced this docile fish eating ornamental shrimp or soft corals? I am thinking he would prefer my smaller reef tank?? I hate catching fish after they are in DT b/c it stresses everyone out!
thank you
