    Is he swimming/eating well? Doe's he have any grey/white spots? pic is not to good. I do see fraying of the fins. Is he rubbing on rocks, or fighting over territory?

    I would say rocks or someone fighting back. Those aren't very fast swimmers. I just caught mine yesterday. back to the kennels for him. To think I paid $60 for it and got $10 credit for it...

    Mine wasn't to aggressive. After I took his anemone out of the tank he started hosting one of my duncan colonies, an elegance coral and my large squamosa clam. I got tired of his hosting needs and she was growing way to fast. I do miss the beautiful color though. Just one less mouth to feed though.
