    Monstrous, were in Fiji I've dived there several times and never recall seeing one :S

    But yes he did eat a little last night so :) However i'll just have to wait...
    I'm already soaking the food in garlic, will have to try some nori...

    I dove several times off of the island of Quamea. I was actually certified as an open water diver there.

    That was the only clown tang I saw, that whole trip, diving, and snorkeling.
    I also saw 1 regal angel.

    IMO this is one of those fish that should absolutely be left in the wild. They are so beautiful but we too often kill them due to the inability to provide for their needs. (we still don't exactly know what kills them off)

    A sad update, i now can't find him. Lifted up a few of the top rocks for no avail. Assuming he is dead and the clean up crew got him. Won't be getting another one in the near future based on this advice. Thanks for the help guys :)
