Need to rehome a 2 1/2" Picasso Trigger. Eats well, healthy, doesn't bother the other fish. $20

Sorry Chris, I'm not getting notifications when somebody replies. He hasn't bothered any of my corals or my clownfish and pajama cardinal. He does however like to pick sand up and spit it around. My clam is getting a bit tired of this. ;)

I still have the blue one with the green center that is in my profile picture! The more I read up on the Picasso's the more nervous I get. They seem good when small, but as they get bigger they become a lot more of an unknown. He's a beautiful fish fish though! I think I am getting ready to add a clam as well, not sure I want to see clam on the menu again.

I understand! He doesn't nip any at my clam, but the clam doesn't appreciate his antics. All my tube news slowly disappeared. Dangit

Chris, if you want to give him a try, you can just have him. I moved him to a super tiny tank today because I added a tang. Maybe you could re re-home him if he causes problems?

I had a pink one with green center that just wilted away, it was hard to know if it was because I kept trying to move it to a more visible spot or if it wasn't catching enough food. I've had the blue/green one now for 5 or 6 years now, and only recently started hand feeding it when I feed everything else. I started doing that because I read somewhere they are non-photosynthetic and have to capture everything they want to eat. But my blue/green guy gets green hair algae on the exposed part of the tube. I've never been able to fix that, been tempted to try a peroxide dip like I would with a zoa frag...but I don't want to harm him!

I'm in the same boat with tangs in my tank as well. I wish I had a FOWLR setup, the Humuhumu nukunuku apua'a is one of my dream fish!
