I think he's cool, hopefuly he eats the Aiptasia that's in my tank!!
I was worried about my lionfish eating him (why I made sure he was big) but the lionfish couldn't care less!:tongue: but wait, whats this, my normally hiding and scared foxface doesn't like him? :squigglemouth: In all fairness I think the butterfly started it....started doing the tail pushing thing. They seem to have calmed down a bit now. I also got a rather large turbo snail for the tank (2.5"-3"!!! sorry no pics :sad:) all is good so far.:bigsmile:

I used a Kleins BF to go after majonos, and he did that great, but he also ate the skirts off all the button polyps in the tank. I had the strangest looking button polyps ( which kept growing).
Great fish.

lol, I'm a little worried about him doing that, but Ill watch him and I don't care that much if he does. I don't have too many polyps in there I care about, and the ones I do, I have in my other tanks/are not too expensive.

My kleins ate aiptasia like they were candy, but he also ate zoas too. I tested him while he was in QT, so needless to say he never went into my reef tank. Got a CBB and peppermints instead.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
