I think I've gone nuts@#$?

[Barnacle_Blenny]

You guys might remember the thread about the Longenose filefish I rescued from the petshop a bit ago. He hasn't eaten since then so out of care for this poor creature I let him loose in my main tank with acro's & monti's I feel his life means more then the monetary value of the coral. Do you think I've gone bonkers or what? He's actually been nipping my digitata so far and I can't tell you how happy it made me (now I know I'm really nuts). Just thought I'd share it with my fellow reefers. Hoping to find someone to relate to but I think I've just went way over the deep end on this one. I'll post some pics of him sleeping in the sps

(just like in the wild) tomorrow.

Get some cheap sponges. He will eat the sponges and leave the other corals alone.

How do you put a price on any life that's entrusted to your personal care?

Good call.

do they eat sponges? I've never heard that. If they do that would solve alot of problems.

How about live blackworms or tubifex? Or slapping some frozen food onto a dead acro frag?

I think it is very sweet that you put him in your main tank hoping that will save his life. Your corals will grow back - maybe once he's back on track you can give/sell him to someone else.

How is that seaclone working out for you?

 

[Barnacle_Blenny]

Thanks for the info spyro but he doesn't eat sponges so far. Zenfish I've tried that before. Some will even adapt to frozen foods but not this guy he's very refined and only the lower class filefish will eat that garbage food LOL

Missy thanks for the kind words and thanks to you and nitsnorth for the skimmer it already has pulled out two cups of dark skimmate.

Wow! I'm glad it is really helping out your tank. Too bad we couldn't get together Friday night for Spiderman playdough. Maybe some other time

 

[Barnacle_Blenny]

Definately I love spiderman but sometimes I get too exited and eat the playdough
