I bought three.......damn clowns ate them for breakfast. One a day. It took three days for them to disapear. ohh well, nothing I can do about it. I couldnt catch them to take them back either. Sat there for two hours one day trying.

the reason why i say once every other day is because if you feed him often the ammonia will build up a lot faster. and the reason i asked if there was live rock, was because they can eat the algae and junk off of that which makes less pollutants in the water. or at least cuts down on the food pollutants.

Do you have any inverts?
