Check out this crazy Mimic Filefish

[donnievaz]

I just got this guy the other day from a guy that said it doesn't bother his corals at all. What I didn't take into account was that the guy didn't have any SPS. It's already wiped out some green birdsnest and is working on another type of green. Sorry I don't know the proper names but they're very similar. He only seems interested in those two. I have a nice green poccillopora that looks similar but stubbier and he hasn't touched it as far as I can tell. He also hasn't touched a pink birdsnest, or an acro (tenius maybe?) or any zoas or LPS. I really like it but it's got to go. Anyway, the reason for my post is I found him sleeping tonight with his mouth latched on to my forest fire digitata and his tail curled up. He's been like this for over an hour. Crazy. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

That is how they sleep - they bite/latch onto coral and sleep. He is a cool fish tho.
