OK sounds good

Chompers has moved on to the next stop on his southern California excursion, he's now at Korl's pad dining on some Temecula grown aptasia....

Here's a pic of him in my GSP while he was here.....



Thanks again for letting me use his services, he's a machine!

Update. So chompers has been in my tank for a couple days now. Just noticed some of the aptasia are missing. Yay!!! He super shy though. Everytime I walk up to the tank, he goes into hiding mode. I really want to see him eat them.

I had him twice & never actually saw him eating them. Maybe his name should be Houdini!

Looks like chompers is down to the last few aptasia. He should be ready for his next stop within the next few days. Hopefully he's easy to catch.

Ready for next stop. Just waiting to hear back from next interested party on the list.

To be honest, if you only have a couple aptasia I would be careful with this fish. He did a great job of eating the aptasia the first week when there was a lot of them. This past week I only had a couple small ones left and he ate a few of my zoa frags and clove polyps before I realized it and could catch him. He does eats prepared foods too. This fish just eats a lot.

Korl if you dont get a responce back let me know and I will pick him up.

My aptasia is already coming back!! Guess there is no guarantee for getting rid of it unless you have one of these guys in your tank full time. Just like aptasia-X warns of possible spore release if the directions are not followed properly, these guys probably don't wipe out the aptasia before it has a chance to release spores.

ok there were a couple people that were supposed to be next in line but did not reply when they were pm'd about picking up chompers. So as a result I now have chompers back
and he should be ready to go back out in about 1 week.

I am sorry if you wanted to use chompers services and did not get to but as stated in the first post if you are contacted because you are next in line he needs to be picked
up asap if he is not you will be skipped and he will go to the next person in line.

I will contact the next person in line when he is ready.

please take me off the list gents, thanks

[bbandu]

no problem

I'm curious as to how everyone is catching this apparently super shy fish to pass him along?
