Curious if anyone has had any experience with a Greenblotch Parrotfish (Sparisoma atomarium). After a couple weeks of having one, I have had some observations. Mine wouldn't eat off the nori clip at 1st, then rubber banding a piece the rockwork got it interested. That got him to finally eat off the clip. Eats TDO pellets, flakes, Mysis, & the Nori readily. Likes the TDO & Nori best. Working on getting some LRS Frenzy & going to try some Masstick. Pretty much eats anything.
The last couple days he is refusing to venture to the clip again. Might have to do with me pulling some nori off the overflow. As soon as I did he came to investigate & got a scare from my hand movement. He hasn't forgave me since & won't venture very far from the rockwork. When he was 1st introduced, had the same behavior. I don't think my kitten is helping anything, she keeps jumping against the glass & getting him scared.
This fish does have a pale appearance until scared or if browsing the rockwork for algae, the colors will darken/change. Sorta like a wrasse flashing? Here are a couple videos of him try "blend."
