Ive never dealt with lyretail anthias, so I'm not really sure what to expect. Would they eat fish small enough to swallow? I know some anthias will, but no clue about most. What about reef compatability? Would they eat small shrimp and such, cause it will have fish and shrimp in sizes down to tiny(maybe even sexy shrimp)? Would that work, or would I need to put it into FOWLR? At the moment I have a TINY, barely larger than an inch&1/2, convict blenny in my QT, which MIGHT be small enough to fit in the mouth of a lyretail I'd like to get. If I get the anthias it would have to go in with the blenny. Is that a risky situation? Thanks for any and all help, everyone:)

Our snowflake moray, Erastus, hasn't eaten in at least two weeks. We've had him for several years now; he's never skipped eating this long before and my wife is getting worried. Generally, he sits in his PVC tubing, like so: He's usually visible like this about 25-50% of the time, closer to all the time when he's hungry. Sometimes, especially when he hasn't eaten in awhile, he'll come all the way out and slither around the tank: Last week, my wife was so worried I had to take two powerheads and stick them directly into two of the three portals to his tubing to try and blow him out to verify he was still alive. It took awhile, and he wasn't happy about it, but eventually he came all the way out. We looked him over as closely as we could, and while we couldn't tell if he'd lost weight or not there was no visible sign of disease or parasites. Still, he didn't want to eat then or the next morning. When we've put his food directly into the pipes we find it floating around the tank later (at least, what the trigger hasn't eaten). Nothing significant has changed in the tank. So, with all that as background, any ideas? How worried should we be (or not)? Any suggestions?

Recently I've noticed some detritus buildup in my "aggressive" tank. It's not technically a FOWLR, as I have a couple of large Mexican Turbos and a Tiger Cowrie for algae control, but they don't seem to be doing much on the other stuff. My flow pattern seems to do a reasonably good job of keeping things in suspension, but obviously the overflow isn't getting everything. If this was a reef tank I'd probably add a bunch of smaller snails (esp. nasarrius) and/or various hermits. However, these would just be a snack for the main inhabitants of this tank - a Humu Trigger (~4-5"), Snowflake Moray (24"+) - along with a Blue Velvet Damsel, Valentini Puffer and Falco Hawkfish (each about 3"). I don't know how a conch would do, as the flow keeps the bottom pretty clean; while they can and do climb, I'm guessing that probably shouldn't be their primary mode of operation, as it would be here. Suggestions are welcome.
