    Hawkfish? What happend to the shrimp?

    I really don't mind the cost associated to a nice feast for my hawk. Peppermints are only $4-$6 depending.. And i used to feed feeder fish to my freshwater to fill that need to hunt. I would assume the benefits for the saltwater predators are similar. And besides, who doesn't like a nice fresh...

    Hawkfish? What happend to the shrimp?

    When i put the peppermints in there i thought... Nah.... As the shrimp seemed almost as big as the hawkfish. Guess i was wrong haha.. You may be ok if the shrimp is established and the hawkfish is new and well fed.

    Need Help with ID! look at my Wrasse ; )

    I had a small - med population of them in my previous tank. I did transfer some rock from that tank and so ill assume some Asterina Stars made it over to the new setup. Ill keep my eye out to see if the wrasse develops a taste for them!

    Need Help with ID! look at my Wrasse ; )

    That makes sense, At first i started thinking, roughly 6 PM, i bet the store he lived in shut down around now. And is on his normal schedule. Hard to believe they can breathe under all that sand! Thanks again!

That was around 6pm last night and it was still MIA when i left for work this morning. He could have moved around at...
