Reef Safe or not

[efisher]

Just picked up this guy. I have heard missed reviews of tile fish. Please let me know if what i think is a tile fish is reef safe or not. It looks like he is picking at the corals.

He's an SPS polyp specialty feeder.

he might not last long. I only know two people that has kept them. Tony of ReefExotics & Atlantis in Riverhead.

He is not a sump feeder until I bring him back in the am. good thing he is an easy fish to catch. Thanks for your response.

Nice fish - better off left in the ocean!

I had one for a year just requires stable high water quality and serious rock work I had no sps at the time.. Very delicate and I killed it by adding baking soda directly in the line of a power head that went across the front of my tank...

Yeah these guys only eat sps so you're going to need a LOT of it to keep them happy. They also discriminate on the types of sps they'll eat. As mentioned the only people I know that keep them successfully have 400 gallon + tanks full of sps.

i dont think tony has it anymore.

I once saw one of those guys at New World and knew nothing about them, so I asked. The guy there told me not to buy him and that they should never have even brought them in. :scratch:

It's definately a fish that should be left in the ocean. It feeds on SPS polyps.

well he is going back tomorrow. I don't want my SPS's touched.
