    Thats what ive been hearing as well, but the only thing that they dont know is if they can get into the sand bed or deep within the rock, my problem is i have monti's for them to feed on so if they do come back, they will infact go after my others.. :-/

    actually they are pretty selective as to what ones they eat. there is a good chance they wont go after your others if they havent already.

    also, this is why you quarantine

    I would assume they are leaving my other ones alone, so far i havent seen any of them iritated, but the problem is they can take awhile to show there faces again, hopefully i got them all and saved some of my monti's as far as quarantining, i dont have the space to put up another tank, even a 10g wouldnt be able to go anywhere otherwise i would be quarantining everything i bought, some dont have the luxury. When my house is finished building, and i get working on my other tank ill be using my 57g for the quarantine system and will be a stand alone setup
