It has been taking so long to get my 215 setup that I decided to setup this 46 stretch hex. It's only been setup for six weeks but I'm pretty happy with how it is coming along so I thought I would post a couple pics.

I believe that is a long nose filefish. very hard to get to eat anything but live brine. Beautiful fish with different coloration patterns. Richard have you been able to get this little guy to eat?

It's an Orange spotted (longnose) filefish. I ordered him by accident a couple of months ago (meant to order an Orange Fantail filefish). He chows down on bloodworms, cyclop-eeze and pods. I have to feed him 4-5 times a day or he starts to lose weight. It's a really cool fish that I have become obsessed with to the point that I am setting up a 55 gallon just to try and keep a small harem of them. All of the literature says they feed only on sps polyps and are impossible to keep.
