My newest addition to my tank. Very cute little thing, pics to come soon, but hes making my tank a mess!!!
He is sandsifting so much my tank is pretty cloudy. I know that he is probably a good add as he will move the sand around, but how do I keep my tank from looking cloudy. Hes constantly sifting so the tank never has time to settle.

Will this eventually go away?

 

It will eventually, once all the fine particles have been filter out of the sand

 

I think he'll slow down eventually... Mine did, and then he really slowed down when my red open brain ate it... LOL....

Oh my... I have the same red brain, hopefully mine will stay away from it

I just want my tank to pretty and clear again. The cloudiness is ugly

 

LOL!! You feed your corals much better than I do. Mine have to settle for silversides.

 

LMAO.. That was a once in a lifetime meal for that guy...

 

Things will be back to normal in a week or two. It still irritates me that mine drops sand on my bottom corals. .. but it doesn't seem to bother them.

 

I used to have a jawfish that did it with a coral it made a home out of. It was a pretty green coral but it was always covered in white sand because of the jawfish.

 

Ok so some bad news, you know that pic that is posted above, Im pretty sure my brain coral had a tasty orangespot for dinner too!

I dont have any evidence, besides that the coral looks awesome today, really puffy. I havent seen my orangespot since last night. I fed today and he was no where to be found. I checked to see if he jumped ship but I didnt see any dried up fish lying around the tank. I checked to see if there were any remnants of a fish body laying in the sand bed, not there. I checked all my powerheads to see if he got sucked up in there, and he didnt.
So, I think my brain had a pretty good dinner. I dont want to say RIP yet, but I'm going to keep my eye out for him.

Hopefully he didnt get eaten for a snack, he was a pretty cool fish, despite making my tank cloudy, which also seemed to be very clear today compared to the last couple days.
