A little odd but a good thing.

Very odd, and a great thing in my book. That stuff is a pest.

Good news. He really seemed to enjoy it - he spied it, his eyes fixed on it & he went in for the kill! Only have the 2 pieces of live rock in the tank so far, but there are a few aiptasia on the bits I'm curing, so hopefully he will continue to eat it!

Tell the pet store you got this little guy from that if they have any more Aiptasia-killing GSP's in stock I'll buy a dozen. :lol:

Mine are now making short work of my feather duster things on the live rock! I guess it will help with their teeth - all that pecking at rock!
