The diphreutes interests me. What about ephippium?

Epphipium is among my favorite butterflies, but is not reefsafe.

So majanos are toast? [emoji47]

 

[eatbreakfast]

Should be.

 

[94Roarge]

I like my fluro green majanos. What about more of the Heniochus sp?

 

[eatbreakfast]

H. acuminuatus will nip corals, may not eat majanos.

How does that one go with it's own kind?

Also how would mixing of butterflies be?

 

[eatbreakfast]

Heniochus species are social. Most butterflies are fine together as long as there are grazing opportunities.

I picked up a big Copperband last night as someone couldn't feed it and it needed a new home. It went straight to eating worms and aiptasia in my tank but apparently it wouldn't eat anything prepared the other person was offering it. I have had my eye on the particular specimen for a few months in the shop he got it from and had been eating fine with them. If I can't get it to eat any of my array of foods is there anything else I could do that you have found to be successful?

 

[eatbreakfast]

Clams on the half shell and live black worms.

 

[94Roarge]

Do you think mussels will get the same response as to clams?

 

[eatbreakfast]

It would seem like it likelywouldget a similar response.

What would be (examples)appropriate angel choices for a 120g? Excluding and most of the Centropyges as they would be food for the currentg stock. I'm hoping to mix in a tang or two down the line and maybe a foxface or rabbit. I have a Flag fin in my sights at the moment

 

[eatbreakfast]

Flagfin, goldflake, any Genicanthus, majestic, griffis, bandit, regal.

 

[94Roarge]

Neat thanks.
What are there any special feeding requirements for yellow boxfish?

 

[eatbreakfast]

Anything meaty, but a non-competitive tank is necessary.

 

[94Roarge]

Sweet, it should fit in fine. They are really slow growers right?

 

[eatbreakfast]

They grow to 5" pretty quickly, but slow down after that.

 

[94Roarge]

Oh alright, that's pretty perfect

So far this little box fish is vety fussy. It will go up to food and blow it then swim away. I'll get more blackworms tomorrow as I'm fresh out. I have tried brine, fish eggs and red plankton so far. It's very curious but doesn't get to the actual consiming part :/ (It's about 2.5cm long not including tail) any other suggestions? I'm preparing some mussel too.
