bumblebee1976 hears surf in the shell
Oh, so it's perfectly fine for the hermits to 'pick' at the tube if they are removing dead matter? Seems like they must be doing that - every member of the cuc has had a go and then moved on but the cleaner is a bit more of an obsessive-compulsive. He even follows me as I move, he's a greedy little critter! I read that feather dusters can eat brine shrimp but you must be right as when I put it in the tank he doesn't seem to touch it. If I'm feeding frozen brine, pellet, flake and invert food on alternate days then surely he is getting enough from the liquids? Yes the tube looks sort of dusty and a bit leathery, hard to describe but it sounds normal-ish. The aiptasia is a distance from him now, I've no idea why he moved but wouldn't that mean he is no longer a threat, unless he moved closer, which seems unlikely?
