Well I just wanted to share this event which astonishes me and delighted me when I came back from vacation.
On the last day before I left I fed the tank mysid shrimps. In order not to target feed anyone I decided to turn off all pumps.
As I watched I saw a solitare aussie blasto catch a mysid shrimp.
The following photos show it eating it.
The last photo shows the results!
Enjoy!

Lol!
I have another aussie blasto but that one seems not to want to feed. It blows up but does not ingest food. It is placed up higher closer to the lights. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

It might, I've found the LPS that get lower light eat more readily. I've always target feed my acans and such with forceps/mysis shrimp. O

Logically it seems to make sense. Corals that are higher seem to get more food from the light source as opposed to those that are lower.
Therefore the lower the coral the more food it may need.
