    Mr. Kane Fister is the man. It was exciting to see him start marking his territory quickly after being placed in that tank.

    Its shatter proof acrylic. 50x stronger than glass. I didn't want to take any chances.

    I woke up this morning to hear him hammering away at my barnacles. "Barnacles for Breakfast" ... sounds like a cereal slogan.

    Hahaha so much for you enjoying live barnacles in your tank. They're not going to stay live for long :D at least you don't have to worry about feeding time too much today. ;)

    hey im glad you got an active one and not one that hides all the time.

    they kinda creep me out - are you going to put anything else in the tank to give it a bit more jazz? I have a species tank for a frog fish - its kinda dull with just him and rocks - lighting isnt really adequate for reef tho.

    I am going to get some small snails to see if I can keep him occupied away from the barnacles. and if he does eat them oh well.
