My LFS is ordering me a tank raised Aiptasia Eating Filefish today and it will be here tomorrow. Hopefully it will eat the hydroids or Aiptasia which ever it is since I'm still not 100% sure yet.

Just curious, what's that running you?

That's decent. I almost went and bought a Filefish and some Peppermints yesterday. I think the Filefish is $69 but Petco gets them between $25-$40 when they have them.

I now have 4 Peppermint Shrimp I think they are funny too watch the way they sway back and forth.

Picked up my new Aiptasia Eating Filefish and 6 red banded trochus snails today. They all seem to be settling in and he's been picking at various places on the glass he's very tiny right now at about an inch and its near watching him change colors as he goes to different areas in the tank. I will post videos or pictures later today.

Can you guys see the fuzzy?

 

[tbrown]

I love how they sway, like to music.

Yes!

Does the having two feet mean it's going to split? Tanks just waking up so it's polyps aren't fully extended.

 

[fishguy242]

Maybe, looks like it is doing great though... :)

 

[Calmwaters]

Thank you I was really worried after I had to take it off the rock it came on.
