Id guess the slime is from the sunlight. Isnt that the side that gets sunlight?
Might wanna get some more hermits or try blocking the sunlight a little.

it migth be due to the sunlight from the window but most of the time i keep the blinds closed during the day and it grows on both sides of the tank....
the right side is cleaner due to my diamond goby but he hasnt gone to the other side yet to stir up the sand
the diamond goby is a very cool fish but hes kinda reclusive and hides in his hole under a rock alot of the time then comes out for a lil while messes with the sand then back to his whole hes still kinda new like a week to the tank so i figure he'll come out more when he gets more familiar

hey always ate frozen from day one
but lately i have found him to have a larger appatite
he eats the frozen foods such as brine mysid formula one and 2 and other things but the other day he decided to eat a new fish a pearly jaw fish and im thinking he ate it due to its resemblence to a piece of squid that he also likes to eat
but he doesnt botehr my little lyretail anthias or my smaller lawn mower blenny so hes doing well

Very Nice!!! How long have you had your yellow dwarf & what size is it?
jhebi - Don't feel bad just keep trying, the Fu ManChu is very tough to get on frozen foods.

do clams eat fish?
i dont that it really can eat something like that when the lion goes on top of his mantle he just flinches and sucks in a lil

I don't think it could eat the lion but clams have been know to close fast.... Your dwarf should be fine, they make the dash with any strange movement. lol
Murph mine is the same way 4 inches and holding, I have had my yellow dwarf for about two years & it seems to be at the point it has not grown longer but he has filled out nicely.

Hmmm i wonder if this si kinda like a dwarf dwarf lionfish that only gets like 4in? I hope mine stays abotu 4 inches(about that now) so then i got alittle bit broader choice of fish. STill gotta test out that shrimp safeness though. ill post pics of mine some time. Hes pretty shy except for feedinf time so sometimes its hard to get good pics? Are you guys's shy at all?
