Unfortunately, this fish doesn't seem to find them the least bit appetizing. However, it has found plenty of other food to eat, including prepared foods and even pellet food. Although it is a slow moving fish, it is extremely elusive when I try to photograph it. <strong>Reef-safe</strong>.</p> <p><img height="480" src="http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/0105/fat_orange_mandarin.jpg" width="640" /></p> <p><img height="480" src="http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/0105/fat_orange_mandarin2.jpg" width="640" /></p> <div class="youtube-embed-wrapper" style="position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;padding-top:30px;height:0;overflow:hidden;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/r3YYQU5ewPI" style="position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;width: 100%;height: 100%;" width="640"></iframe></div> <p> </p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-critter-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/56" hreflang="en">Fish</a></div> <div class="field field--name-field-website-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/40" hreflang="en">Critters</a></div> Sat, 13 Jun 2020 00:35:12 +0000 melev 144 at https://melevsreef.com
