    ok, it seems to like where its at, it should its probablly the best spot for light and good indirect current, still shrinks on ocassion, good color and size though, now about feeding, so many people here said dont feed it in a nano reef, but i dont feed my clowns that often cause they have been cleaning the pods off the rocks and glass and the food I give them every other day or so usually doesnt get eaten, and my bicolor blennie eats mostly algae though he will snap up the brine shrimp flakes when hes close to them...so should I feed it, I wouldnt mind it being a bit bigger, but if I feed it what? and how? and how often? also once it gets to a desired size should I just cut the feeding back, I dont want it to starve

    thanks, well its only about a week old so we'll see how it goes from here on out, hopefully mine lives for a few years at least, the clowns have kinda tired of it a bit, they are also alot more aective in the last few days, and they ate all the copepods that where on my glass, I watched them go up and nip them off, Im sure there are 2 or 3 times as many pods in the rocks though so Im not worried about it
