That's great. Eating well?
He’s been picking at the rocks / eating feather dusters and other things. I’m pretty sure ate mysis from the clam. I’m gonna see tonight for sure , didn’t want to be near tank to let fish settle lol if I don’t see a great response today I plan on hitting grocery store for some small clams to lay around. Probly try squid today

The new purple LTA looks great. Looking for one for the reefer. I don't even know why clowns bother with BTA's. LTA are the Ritz Carlton.
Lol once the clowns found the LTA they immediately don’t care about BTA , and ye he’s been looking very good fed some scallop yesterday for first meal ate it right up

Try live blackworms if you can get them, worms are the best thing since sliced bread if you're a copperband butterfly or apparently a wrestler :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Really liking the new scape and tank! Great job! 75 gallons are one of my favorite smaller size tanks to work with. Small enough to still be easy for maintenance but big enough to allow a wider variety of livestock. Definitely following this build! Feel free to check my 75 gallon build out as well!

Some of them just are. Sometimes live brine gets them going as well. Eventually you'll have it eating from your hand. This was my old 380 gallon. Ignore how weird my voice sounds when the rescue hippo tang bit my finger in the video.

It definitely should. The big boy in that video learned from the rescue hippo. So did the moorish idol. Pretty soon they ate pretty much anything.
