• Hepatus devoured euphyllia.

  • Lori4746

Does anyone know what’s happening? I observed a situation where a hippo is eating torch euphyllia; it has been getting smaller over a few days, but the reasons are not clear, and now it’s happening right before my eyes. There’s only a skeleton left. It arrived a week ago, and everything was fine. Will it recover, or is it all over? Thanks in advance.

What do you feed the fish?

Good day, Tanya. I feed him spirulina, nori, shrimp, artemia, mussels, and garlic pellets when I dive into the sump. Yesterday I saw him pecking at a small rodactis. Maybe they were bothering him as an obstacle, or maybe he's hungry even though I feed him 2-3 times a day. Or maybe he's just...

The feeding is varied, so the reason for the starvation is eliminated... My surgeons start to go crazy without a burrow and pinch everything in sight... that's why I assumed...

Curtis

I definitely give nori .....

Author, I apologize for going off-topic, but to avoid creating a new thread, I'll ask here: how do you feed nori to Hepatus? I can't seem to get it right; I've tried attaching it to a rock and hanging it on the glass, but it doesn't react at all and avoids the nori, while the shrimp comes over.

Matthew

All the fish eat it. I take a scraper and hold the nori between the magnet and the glass, and they nibble on it calmly.

Guy

What kind of nori do you provide? The regular ones for sushi?

Try excluding garlic-based medications (like mussels) for a change, and provide something meaty, such as streptocel, pure coretra, or large red artemia. The probability is low, but it works on helminths.
