"Why are you touching my stuff?"
EDIT: Yes, those are colonial tubeworms in the foreground... SG is 1.016, so I figured I'd try them.

Hi Synirr

It looks like he is doing well. I remember when you first got him and you posted his picture on the brackish forum. Has he got his own tank or has he got any tank mates? I would love one but I already got a toadfish and I don't think you can mix them.

He has his own tank, just a 5.5 gallon... he has grown, but not enough to merit an upgrade yet. He does have 3 tiny zebra hermit tankmates that are doing great

Very nice, I must have had 7 of them in the past, but I never had them live for more than a few weeks, they'd eat a few times, and just stop.

 

[Synirr]

Yeah, I hear a lot of people have trouble getting them to eat, I guess I got lucky. Mine takes anything frozen or live that I offer, but his faves are live blackworms and frozen bloodworm

So cute!

His hiney looks like he's related to synos? Oops! I guess it is just his fins and a trick of light.

Anyway, he is a real sweety.

Wonderful pictures Synirr. So long as you salinity stays on the high end, it may be a worth while investment to seed the tank with amphipods. Amphipods make great snacks for them to hunt down in between feedings.

The minimum tank size is not really established, some say a 10 gallon is minimum others say 25. Wapfish will grow to about 2.5 inches and are fairly active, IMHO 15 gallons is sufficient.
