Acreichthys tomentosus - Aptasia Eating File Fish

[dons]

OK, maybe I got your attention with the fancy name. Just got this little bugger from Warehouse Aquarium to take care of my aptasia in a 12 g. nano. Did some research and he's not likely reef safe but that shouldn't be a problem in my nano. Will keep you posted on the little guys eating habits

Wow you're fast! 10 seconds into the post. But ugly can be cute sometimes. The one I bought looks just like the pic from the web search. I'm going to take some real life pictures in the next day or so.

Warning: Do not put any zoas in with him... they will disappear faster than the Aptasia!

They could have picked out a better modeling fish for the photo. He looks like he just got his butt kicked!
