I don't know what it is but it certainly looks like a natural part of the sea bottom. 😎

Something weird is going on with these Dwarf Waspfish. I have had a pair for a few years, and for most of that time, they hid in caves in the back and very rarely came to the front. They were very hard to feed, as they were too shy and never did both of them venture to the front at the same time.
I had to target feed them, and each one would only eat about once a week

Now both of them stay in the front and will eat almost every time I feed them. I give them pieces of clam and live earthworms, and they will suck the food right out of the baster thing I made. They actually bite the thing when I put it near them.

Normally, my other fish, especially my filefish will steal the food instantly, but now they push him away and get the food.

I think they are going to spawn but I am not sure.

They are now Veterans 🤩
 
We don't often see those waspfish in the UK and when we do get are expensive. £59 is about $80
I also rarely see them here. I think I have only seen 4 of them and I had 3 of them. 😀
