trying it again Skunk Shrimp Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Monmouth County, New Jersey Age: 51 Posts: 253 Karma: 487	Fresh from the sea!! Hello My friend is into scuba diving, and he netted a Spotfin Butterfly. Tropicals are swept up by the gulf stream and found here this time of year. So I set up a 10 gal tank and put him in. According from what I,ve read they dont stand much of a chance in the home aqarium because of diet. I put in a piece of live rock from the main tank , and it seems to be eating off of that. Its been a week and he still looks good. If he makes it I was thinking of putting him in the main tank but that would kill the idea of getting coral. Has anyone kept one of these guys or have any tips????? Its a nice little fish and I would like to see him make it Thanks _________ SETUP-3Reef shirt&bumper sticker,90gal Tank, 250 watt Heater, . 40lbs live sand , 40lbs L/R - 4x65watt PC , Mag12 return pump, 30 gal sump/fuge FISH-1 Blue Throat Trigger,1 Yellow Watchman, 2 Green Chromis,1 Maroon clown,1 squirrel fish,Lawnmower Blenny CORAL--Purple Zoanths, , Toadstool , Finger leather, Trumpet,Star polyps INVERTS-2 Feather Dusters,1 bristle star, 10 mixed snails, 15 blue leg hermits,2 Tuxedo urchins
