SRC Member LaW Posted March 9, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi All, just to share an amzing thing I saw in my tank today. my yellow tang is eating a bristleworm!! take a look. wooo... first time i heard about YT eating on worms. how long you have it? it looks really skinny and hungry. feed it well. or if you did feed it well but still going skinny, it can be some internal bacteria infections. so take note on that. happy reefing Quote If a man could beat his own fantasy.

Isn't it abit too little? I believe most feed once everyday. Maybe thats why its eating bristle worms.. it probably will feed on anything thats small and alive.

You must be feeding Anthias too.. True.. actually Yellow tangs are not choosy.. they might be abit timid initial because they are getting used to the environment. After that they eat alot and anything. I feed mine twice to 3 times.. blueray, maybe you should put in some red bamboo algae.. you'll see it start to eat it everyday.

Please take a llok at the photo and advice me on this matter. can I carry on to stack more or should i stop? thanks for the advice. buy and stack more. larger piece is good. or you can try using existing piece and place them more "vertically upright" to give a "more rocks feel" but still i predict you lack of more LRs.
