My Eibli Closing my Zoos?

Vapour1ze · 10/19/2008, 03:29 AM

Since I've had him, just about as long as I've had the zoos, going on about 4 days now, they used to be open everyday one the lights when on, for the last 2 days, they've been closed and i've noticed my eibli picking near them but directly on them really, he is WELL fed, and I was wondering if this is a normal thing for them or if it has to do with the eibli, there are 2 sets on one rock and both sets are closed, however my other zoos, larger are open, and my gsps are open,,, you can look at the following video if you want, I just took it not that long ago, sorry for the bad quality, I'm not sure if we're allowed to link videos or not,.... so sorry if this was a no no ?

should be done processing soon , but here zoos are in the first like 20 seconds,

Eibli's tend to be heavy invert pickers. I wouldn't doubt yours is picking on your zoos.

he'll have to go. probably the worse picker of all the dwarfs. I tried and tried with mine and finally got rid of it. he was in a 6ft tank with enough corals so that I thought it wouldn't spend too much time on any one but it managed to keep quite a few closed. mostly zoanthid, open brain naturally (most will) and occasional tasting of SPS. nice bold angel though, wouldn't be intimidated, beautiful and active. too bad.
