I would like to start alittle topic going on the most dangerious predator when it comes to there food. Now ive seen a variety of deaths. Some intenses cuttlefish eating(most recent), my puffer sucking down two yellow head jawfish($13 each) Poor guys they where in such pain. Figure eight puffer ripping apart a ghost shrimp and a huma huma eating the same one at the same time. So lets share storys of fish, ceph's, ect eating live food and how they hunted them. Here is my vote:
I owned 6 wild caught seahorse for a couple months. They only eat ghost. I would dump 12 in at a time. Once one see one ghost shrimp the hunt was on. They shrimp couldn't hide for nothing. All of the seahorses took off hunting there prey. They moved in slowly as not to scare them. Once they where in position and when the ghost shrimp did suspect anything odd the seahorse shot there snout forward and with one powerful suck the sucked the ghost shrimp down in a blink of an eye. There suck is so powerful you can here a click on the outside of the tank. The ghost shrimp would be disenigrated in a second and down to the seahorses stomach. Its an amazing scene to watch and there mean creatures when it comes to food.
Cant wait to here your story
