Hawkfish update

When I woke up this morning, my Hawkfish was no where to be found. I immediately assumed the worst as I had not see him eat since I bought him about 4 days ago. I scanned the tank, the floor around the tank, and my sump and didnt see him anywhere. Then, I decided to check the back of the tank to see if maybe he had jumped out and this is what I found…

This picture is after I moved him. Originally he was right up at the top of the overflow against where the water spills over into the overflow box. He must have been enjoying a massage from the current going through there.

Then, my friend, who had went to the fish store and picked up some mysid shrimp for me the day before, came over and dropped the food off. I defrosted the shrimp and then dropped them in. He finally ate…and boy did he eat. He ate about half the shrimp I threw in there over the other fish inside before going back to his perch:

In other news, my porcelain crab has still not shown itself, my cleaner shrimp is still alive and kicking (just hidden in the rock work), and now my purple fire fish has also retreated to the rear of the tank due to the hawkfish messing with it. Other than that, all seems good aside from a water change scheduled for this saturday!

Ill leave you guys with a pic of the entire tank. Again, sorry about the picture quality, these were actually taken with a cell phone. If you would like to see more pictures of the tank, click here
