That is an awesome picture, magazine quality. This is rekindling my interest in getting a long nose.. as I recall they can be questionable with inverts?

Thanks ! ! !

I have a few Peppermint shrimp in there with him and he pays them no mind. As well as hermits and snails.

My long nose was a smart fish . This was years ago. I collected a bunch of real small ,black shelled obsolata snails. This hawk would turn one over & find a near by perch. The second the snail would go to right itself exposing the foot The fish would dart down in a red flash & snatch the snail right out of the shell !

That's awsome man! I would love to have seen this in action!

Me too. Mine don't bother anything at all. I feel like if I fed every other day they might get a bit grumpy tho
