I have a reef light for now to get algae growing , it’s really not blue
Hi, i think that could be sicyopus species.I had sicyopus rubicundus two years ago.
Here in Europe, there are always mixed shipments of these sicyopus with stiphodon species... although I also ordered only 4 stiphodons.But i got in box 3 stiphodons and 1 fish was this sicyopus.
I have noticed it’s much more aggressive than the stiphodons. I’m actually starting a Walter worm culture today for my other micro predators, so hopefully he likes those.
Thanks for the info!
I have kept all my syciopterus and stiphodon in tanks with nice algae covered rocks.
if you don't have, put some rocks in covered transparent container outside in the sun for a few days. Seed it with tank mulm and let nature go ape.
Syciopterus seem to be a lot more aggressive than stiphs but do mellow a little as they establish boundaries to territories

Actually algae is going crazy in this tank, I seeded it, added some Seachem flourish and run a high powered reef light all day. I will be putting a normal light on once I know the algae will continue without it tho
