Aptasia eating filefish review

They vary so much-mine nibbled idly at Aiptasia (not helpful), destroyed Duncanopsammia, inconsequential nibbling of a few other corals. Worth it for a very interesting fish. Mine is female, large for the species, very good at changing patterns, and very shy.
 
he hasnt mess with any of my hammer, torch, or octo. he loves live brine and pellets!



Thats exactly what mine did lol



Peppermint shrimp didnt do anything for me. It was a big waste of money IMO. thought I could have gotten a stupid group of shrimp lol. thank god my filefish hasnt touched anything else. Now I need to get a harlaquin shrimp to take care of my astaris stars.



I got mine from a LFS, green aptasia eating filefish. not sure of the scientific name.
How much flow did you have? I'd love a filefish but I blast my sps with flow and they haven't grown to the point where they're making flow shadows yet. Radial or aip - eaters are probably my go - to but I don't want to obliterate them.
 
I love my filefish. They are the ugliest marine animal but they are more entertaining than blennies.
