    All I can say is at least he has not jumped yet....;D He has been in my tank for about 5 weeks and is still there, BUT he has found a new den that could be deadly to him!

    He has selected to live under my brain coral. And unfortunatly (fortunately) my brain coral is very big and healthy and will probably eat him :cry: I feed this bad boy krill at least 3-4 times a week so hopefully he will be full and not eat him

    Keep that brain well fed - wouldnt want it to have a $100+ meal because you got lazy ;)

    kidding - thats such a cool fish, I have 2 pearly j's and even thought they are cool, they don't even come close to the blue spot!

    I would probably get rid of the brain. The fish costs more than the brain and is harder to find. I would not take the chance. I had a brain that I believe ate a sea hare. This was a very fat and healthy brain I had. I also once had a Caribbean Carpet Anemone that ate a orange linkia. It took a few hours.

    I remember my brains polyps were very long. As long as the fish does not decide to rest on top of him

    I have not seen the bluespot today and the brain is very swollen. I am hoping that the bluespot has just decided to find another den today....yesterday was the first time he decided to live under the brain...so hopefully he just went somewhere else. As he is definately not UNDER the brain today
