Lemonpeel's first meal - an interesting one

[LosingSleep]

...to me anyway.

Picked up a beautiful Lemonpeel at Jay's a couple days ago for the fowlr. It started picking at the LR as soon as it hit the water and just for kicks, I tried to feed it flake. It did taste the flake but rejected it and went back to the LR. As of yesterday it started picking at nori but I couldn't tell if it was being ingested.

I scored some nice cured Fiji rock yesterday and within a minute of being in the tank, an aiptasia anemone popped up on the top piece of rock. The lemonpeel swam right over and sucked it down. He's a keeper. :.

Wow, that's pretty interesting. I wonder if it was just a freak thing or if he'll actually eat more of them, you'll have to let us know!

Thats awesome. Congrats on your aiptasia angel.

Hmmm...lemon peel eats Aiptasia....something new every day! Great score, I hope it doesn't eat too much more than the Aiptasia.

I hope I never see it again!

Another experience I'd rather not have!

OK Mr. Skepticism. I've read on RC that LPs have been caught nipping nems. I'm still going to go ahead with BTA and keep a close eye on it.

Mr. Hungry:

He makes and interesting noise when darting across the tank. Kind of sounds like a water bubbler.

Nice looking fish.

 

[Gina McReeferson]

He/she is a beauty, adds a nice splash of color.
