I added this little guy who is about 2.5 - 3 inches in length just 2 weeks ago. He is currently eating frozen krill-Kabobs and only seems to do so after following it around a while. i've noticed if he has any question of fitting it in his mouth, he wont eat. i'm cutting the krill in half and using a bbq skewer to entice him with it.

When he sees the food, he gets so excited he literally wags his tail fin and acts like a dog who's owner got him a fresh bone. Soon, i will video this.

He's the 2nd one i have had. I traded my other one 3 years ago to a fellow reefer (raptor) because he was simply too big for his tank mates and was able to eat them :)

They are not good swimmers so they perch on the rocks most of the time and scooter around the tank to get around. I do catch him swimming in the koralia current quite a bit though.
