That was a $15 meal bro!

Was just watching everything going on in my tank. My chalk basslet (a model citizen) was kinda eyeing me so I get closer to look at it. It casually swims to put a sexy shrimp, who is just minding its business on a frag, right between me and it. Then it just inhales the shrimp and swims off like nothing happened… I’m just sitting there kinda stunned that this guy ate a $15 meal and thinking “hey bud do you want the wine menu too?” The crazy thing is I definitely feed that guy well!

Anyone else have some fun cases of expensive fish food?

Serpent star I had ate a whole poreclain crab and tried to sneak off.....it's body was looking like a brown sheet tossed over a porcelain crab......very subtle!

once got a small blood red fire shrimp that got bashed around by my waspfish ( it couldnt fit in his mouth) so he slammed it into the rocks and sand and just left it there to die, most annoying loss of 30 bucks for me

Ya that’s the thing… super annoying because I enjoy the sexy shrimp and don’t want it to become a thing… but then at the same time it was just so ridiculous how it all happened that it’s hard not to laugh

No doubt.

Also a thing with basslets like that.....I don't know what "bass" means, but it seems like it could mean "shrimp eater". They have that giant mouth compared to their body size.....that's only good for one thing. :)

Guess how I found out that Centropyga's like clams. I also fed a 20USD cleaner shrimp to my trigger- it was at that moment when I realized, what happened to the previous shrimp.

I’m starting to see. Shrimp and certain fish? No go unless you are wanting to get a snack for one of your fish
