Firstly, an elephant ear would trap your fishes for food.

bro...that is probably a very uncommon one.... :huh:

(hint...fragging it again??? :yeah: )

Most of them look like the attached pic, light brown or greenish coloured.

They shouldnt do any harm to you bigger fishes. They do enjoy occasional feeding with chopped market prawn.

Where do you buy the Sliver Fish?

I am trying to feed my elephant ear.

By the way, any idea how to keep the fishes away when feeding it? My fishes always snatch away the food from the elephant ear mouth.

Silver Fish from Wet Market, NTUC. Other alternative is shrimp ( chopped ).

I use my finger to control and put it in to his mouth, till half go in than I let go. Sometime take 15 mins , sometime less than 1 min.

Life is like a peice of Uncured Live Rock [ from LFS ], you never know what you gonna get.........

Survive? Yes...

Prosper... No....

Corals need to feed too... just at different rates!

The elephant ear coral is probably the only coral that eats whole fish!

Eat a whole FISH ? :o

Yes i know it's eat whole silver fish , however does it eat bigger fish also ?
