    Maybe an Orange Spotted Filefish.... lol. Only kidding. The best SPS tank I ever had was years ago when I had just a single mandy in a 44. I never fed the Mandy, so that tank was always nice and clean. Easiest tank ever!

    That cat looks seriously ticked off!!!! I also laugh whenever I see that - and try to think in my head what that cat is saying to himself . . .

    "I knew I shouldnt have gotten addicted to catnip - shouldda believed people when they said it made me do stupid stuff!!!!"

    Oh yeah you send fear into the heart of all sps keepers.;)

    I think the clowns might be amused by a mandarin crusing around. Problem is I live 45 mile from any LFS. Supplementing their diet would be too much of a challange.

    Wow....negative Karma (just kidding)

    I actually got one of these to eat fish food (NOT kidding). It was a combination of Rod's Food, PE Mysis, and Freeze Dried Cyclopeeze. I don't know which it was eating....but who cares???

    No.....people are always told that these are 100% obligate feeders and that's not necessarily the case.

    Ive had several Dottybacks over the years and they never bothered my clowns. Not only do they eat pods but also bristle and flat worms.;D
