Thanks bro. I just like the fact that you have good corals and enough room to have some killer fish. If I ever decide to get a mandarin, but the horror stories about them scare me. Wild caught are hard to feed (without a bunch of pods) and people lose tank raised ones for unexplained reasons.

hey Chris, do your anthias go to bed early? Ie, have they found their night time spot before the lights go out? I have noticed that mine will go to bed about an hour before the lights go out....

Thanks bro. I just found it odd. My lights run from 12p-10p but ramp up and down for 1.5 hours.

first off let me say this, my anthias are very personable, and when I approach the tank, they come up to the front of the glass to say hello....pretty much everytime. So last night when the moon lights came on, I went to see if they were asleep already, and all 3 came out to say hello...I think they are just little pigs and are looking for food, whether they are asleep already or not. 
Maybe that yours is alone has something to do with it's behavior compared to having a trio or full on harem????

Maybe... I have noticed that mine is already coming ot the tank with the others at feeding time. Still spitting out the flakes but does very well on cyclopeze. Guess ill have to train the wife to feed both daily when I am gone.

Cyclopeze is PACKED with protein. Both are very close in protein actually..... Honestly, I ahve never been a big fan of Mysis. I have always had really good success on fattening up a fish with the cyclopeze.
