TheClark Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hahaha, just a wee bit. So far he is working on roughly egg sized rocks that I use for growing out my favorite favias, ugh! A little glue on his mouth... I mean the rock should do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I actually glued a tangs mouth shut once...cut a frag, glued it underwater, and the tang came over and started picking at the glue...next thing you know he has a mouth full of cyanoacrylate:( Luckily it only lasted for a couple hours, and fell off on its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrillion Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 have you guys been able to like pet and hold your triggers I have seen this a couple times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Some day perhaps, he is a shy guy though if I put hands in the tank. Naso tang trusts me though, daughter pets him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rworegon Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Love the arc eye. Saw a few last week while snorkeling of the big island. Also pink tailed and many other triggers. Hawks are one of my favorites. I only have a flame hawk. Great personalities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteRock Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I emailed your trigger last night and told him to make me some frags. Sounds like he obliged. Now if he would just get them in the mail that would be great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 They have one at my LFS, I have been eyeing him for a few weeks now thanks to this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Cool! I like him, but he does assert himself in the tank. Adding new fish between him and the yellow tang has proved difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I wouldn't risk shrimp, he gets pretty hungry. Snails seem ok, but hard to count. There is a sea hare alive and kicking that I see most evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Had the camera out for the zoa growout. Grabbed a pic of the hawk, he has been pretty cool in the tank but does own certain areas.... Edited April 17, 2015 by theclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Just an update.. The trigger has remained reef safe and is a nice show piece but a tad aggressive. He chomped my fang blenny clean in half after months together in peace. Just decided he looked good (come on fang blenny, use that venemous bite...) Sigh, fang blenny turned into an expensive fish stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 That sucks, sorry to hear about ol fang. Going forward it's probably just cheap fish I suppose-to be safe that is. Put a male cross hatch in there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitrillion Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 What type of hawk is that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 What type of hawk is that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Arc - Eye Hawk from Hawaii. I like him but the flame hawks are probably allot prettier and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Arc eyes also get a bit larger than the flame hawks but I really like them, you probably need a larger fish to hang with the triggers anyhow. Oh and as every one else has said, nice score and keep us updated on how well he behaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I think I am going to re-home this guy. PM if interested he is relegated to the overflow for now. Long story short, he has been reef safe (not tested with shrimp) and is a beautiful fish. He is just too big for the smaller fish I like keep. The fang blenny was a good example, he eats small fish like french fries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
