is this even possible?

Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Acreichthys tomentosus

is it true?

 

well... its possible.
very cool! i need one for my tank.

 

i would get it if there was proof.... but if it only eats aiptasia that could be a problem too :/

 

Aiptasia eating, meaning it eats aiptasia, among other things.

"Diet: Omnivore"

 

It is considered reef safe with caution also. That worries me.

 

I think it looks like a naughty fish that nips at clam mantles.: lol

 

I have read about these on other sites. They do eat aptasia, but there is a risk that your coral gets munched on first. Then who cares about the aptasia, right.

 

It may eat aptasia, but it will definitely eat your corals. A local gut bought one and had to get rid of it right away.

 

I had an Atlantic Green Filefish that I kept in my nano tank (because of aiptasia) & it ate it all. Lost it to a power surge during a very bad storm one night. When the power came back on a couple minutes later he was swimming (not floating) upside down and died a couple hours later. It was freaky. Only other thing in there were mushrooms, & the fish (and the surge) didn't mess with those. The aiptasia never came back in that tank though.

 

well it wouldnt go in a reef tank. it would be in a 45 FOWLR so i guess sit should be good?
