My Foxface Eats Bristleworms!

[uhgster1]

If I didn’t see it with my own eyes I would have never believed it. I’m watching my foxface nipping around the rocks like it always does and noticed it really digging into my zoas which worried me for a second until I saw what it was pulling out. It was hunting bristle worms, not little micro ones either, 1-2 inch suckers! I had no idea they were capable of diversifying their diets that much. It is by no means underfed so this caught me by surprise. And it apparently has perfected its hunting techniques because now that I’m paying attention I am noticing how it looks for them between the coral and rocks, pulls them out, repositions them and down the hatch they go. Anybody else ever see this?

Of course when you’re trying to catch it on camera it never happens!

you just caused some weird karma because I swear not 5 seconds after reading this post I saw my seahorse behaving weirdly with a bristleworm in its mouth. I got the vid on my iPhone and will upload it if I can

Try to upload it to YouTube and then post a link to it here. I'd love to see that!
