Hid for a week before magically appearing from a nice rock cave looking hungry.
Now is a model reef citizen and getting nice and fat.

Great reef addition, and eats anything I put in the tank. He
is by far the biggest pig I have (next closest would be the skunk cleaner shrimp). Had a short bout of
ich, which I think was cured by feeding garlic soaked food, which I'm still doing.

The undisputed bully of the tank. Even his best buddies (blue tang and flame angel) sometimes
feel his wrath when he's in a bad mood...must be a she...

Awesome citizen, comes out of his cave in the right/rear of the tank for feeding time.

Initially was bullied by the yellow tang, but now is a happy reef citizen, and leaves my coral completely alone...so far!

Before I bought this notoriously finicky fish, I asked the folks
at the fish store to feed him for me, and I personally witnessed him gobbling down some frozen mysis.
Put him in my tank, and he swam up and down along one side of the tank for 20 days or so, and then died.
He never ate a bite, never was bullied, and never stopped swimming up and down. Brain damaged!
