I recently picked up a small S. Bandensis that was tank bred at my LFS. The cuttle is between 1/2" and 1" in length. I put him in a 20 extra tall with a good deal of macroalgae and a large piece of tonga branch rock. This tank is connected to my 200 gal reef system.
I have not seen the cuttle eat yet, however he was supposedly on frozen food. I put in frozen mysis but he ignores them. Also, it is very hard to find the cuttle in the tank at this size so it is hard to monitor his eating.
Should I move the cuttle to a net breeder to make sure he's getting established? According the to the LFS and the breeder, he is 3-4weeks old. At what age do most people move their S. Bandensis out of the net breeder and into a larger adult tank?
Thanks,
Chris
