    Very bad indeed. I lost $75 worth of sps frags and had to break down my 90 gallon to get the little bugger out :(

    I just got a lunar wrase for my FOWLR last weak and my Green Cromis won't leave it alone. I guess I got a wimpy one. I think it may be because of the size they are both about 3".

    I've had my lunare for about 8 months now its about 5-6" in a FOWLR... had a few fish disappear, about 4 of them, with no remnants of them. I woke up this morning to find the remains of a Blue Head wrasse about 4-5" and a a half eaten Niger trigger fish about 2-3" to realize that it was the lunare, now renamed Hannibal Lecture, that ate them. Be V E R Y cautious when considering this fish.

    Yes, they will eat any fish or shrimp they can fit in their mouth.

    LOL, thru GOOGLE...

    I'm still learning from searching 10 year old threads. Only 1 year + hands on experience, so much is still brand new info to me. :cheesy:

    Have a good one,
