Orange spotted filefish pair

Couldn't pass up this duo!

They already like all my sps. Pretty cool fish though.

Yes they do love acros. But I know some can be trained in prepared foods.

There was a recent Advanced Aquarist article on these guys: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blo...otted-filefish-have-very-selective-coral-diet

So I hope you don't like milleporas. Hehe

interesting read thanks. So far they haven't showed any preference I have Millies and they nip at it but they also nip and my other acros.
I might move all my sps into my frag tank and try to ween them.

I think it is better to train and observe them in your frag tank instead of DT. Sps is much harder to acclimate to new environment.

Frag tank would be same system different lighting but good idea.

Update: I've moved these two into a 10 gal hooked up to my outdoor system. And one has taken a liking to pellets. Now hopefully the other one will catch on.

Beautiful fish, good luck switching them over to prepared food. I would suggest NLS Thera A pellets, Nutrimar Ova, PE Mysis, and Reef Frenzy.
