So for the very first time in some 2.5 years or so, I actually caught a glimpse of the full pouch on it's belly. I noticed it unexpectedly, so then I took my magnifying glass out & spent 30 minutes trying to catch a peak. Even though he was an inch or 2 from the glass at the time, his belly is always against the sand or rock.
It was pretty cool though.

thanks! He rests his belly on the substrate & rock (I guess to protect them), so it took me 30 minutes to just get a glimpse. never mind trying to get a pic. sorry.

Very cool, considering all the micro fauna in your tank I'm surprised none have made it to maturity!

I think the 2 Tunze's might have something to say about that, too. They probably get swept way. I can't lower them too much, or stonys suffer. Humm.

I also had a Talbots Damsel that would have eaten them. I finally got rid of that & after a year of trying, my yellow tang went to Orlando (miamidolfan). We'll see.

Gives you an excuse to start a 20gal planted and buy more snails and cyclopeeze.
