Mar 25, 2009 #2 D dustin_P74 Reef enthusiast how long have you had him? was he eating at the fish store? what are you feeding to him?
Mar 25, 2009 #3 D dawneanddonv Reefing newb I've had him for about a month maybe a little more. Was eating like a mad man. We feed him squid, mysis and brine shrimp. All the sudden he has stopped. All of the parameters in tank are fine.
