Hey all, yet another question to the masses!
I recently aquired a tiger serpent star for my 125. I know, I probably should have done more reading on him before putting him in my tank. Chalk it up to newbie eagerness... Anyhow - he's a pretty large specimen and seems to be aclimating fine in one of my LR caves. When I feed, he sends out his tentacles catching the bits of shrimp.
I was trying to really understand if they are fish eaters since I know that other (Green in particular) serpent stars are quite carniverous. SO - has anyone else had any experiences with these guys and if so, what do you think. My main concern is that I have small gobys and jawfish in the tank...
