I got an aptasia eating filefish from my LFS. He cleaned out heir tanks fairly efficiently and has mopped up mine fairly well. What should I watch for him eating next. He seems to be eating pods and the prozen food I give him. He seems happy with that but in your experiance what else will he eat so I can watch for it.

Some people have reported that they will go after LPS. Mine nips at soft coral polyps but hasn't done any significant damage. Its kinda weird, when he sleeps he latched onto my leather coral and just flops around in the current.

I bet they were delicious! I also love feasting on $100 seafood buffets!

So the story is keep them well fed and they might be fine. He seems to be eating a lot of pods at this point. I have plenty of those for his snackies so I'll keep an eye on him.

What’s next is find him a new home before he starts eating your corals

Mine don't bother any coral and eat any frozen food I feed.

Mine eats flake and frozen - never touches the coral

Mine loved rainbow lps corals.....the more expensive the better....he did quite a bit of damage before I could get him out......
