    Can't say I've seen it before, but I guess it's an interesting tangent as food for thought!

    Keep feeding it the bugs. I think you've stumbled upon something amazing. :D

    Lol, someone else thought I fed it too, I did not.
    We have an issue... The "stink bugs" are getting in somewhere. Anyways I'm finding 1-2 a day, floating dead in the tank.
    A fungiidae, acanthastrea, and a favia so far have pulled them out of the water flow so far.. They seem to suck on em for a few hours then let go. I would bet the exoskeleton is too much to digest but they're getting something it seems.
    Warrants more study into coral and terrestrial bug interactions? lol
