New Copper Butterfly

[Crotalus]

View attachment 7779I've lost a couple in the past because they refused to eat. This one ate like a pig in quarantine, so I put him in the display. He immediately started eating the spaghetti worms in the sand. This is great because their numbers were increasing and I had no idea what predator to get. What a pleasant surprise.

Here is my 215 Peninsula.  About 3 months old.  Moved everything out of an old 200.View attachment 7780

Nice!

Hows the butterfly doing? I'm curious.

 

[Crotalus]

It's doing great.  Constantly cruising.  Ignored by the tangs.  I have to chase him off when I'm spot feeding the corals.  He won't take no.  I have to push him away with the dropper.View attachment 8624

Awesome to hear, such a beautiful fish

Beautiful fish! What's spaghetti worm? Did you mean bristle worm?

 

[Crotalus]

Spaghetti worms are not the same.  Usually all you see is their spaghetti coming out of the sand or hole in the rocks.View attachment 9042
