I had a dream that I ordered a McCoskers wrasse in April and every morning I rush to my tank to see it just to be gut punched.

Any word on why it's taking so long Kevin? I got mine from saltwaterfish.com

The first one didn’t make it through quarantine and they did a second one. Six weeks later, the week it was to ship the contacted me saying the second one didn’t pass the health inspection, it should ship the following week or the one after. I really appreciate that Dr. Reef is being that cautious and not sending me an unhealthy fish that wouldn’t make it. Maybe you could send me a picture of yours, preferably flashing, that I could print and tape to my aquarium to look at every morning to get me by until I get mine?

No it's a lovely piece Shelley. I honestly cant wait to see it reach full potential.

I can't either. I hope it stays all puffy and bright. I have thought of fragging it sometime later. But its such a nice shape.

I understand your dilemma. I tore down a small tank to get rid of them. But I have had them in other tanks. My peppermint shrimp ate them. Don't give up.

You will get it. It will be worth the wait

You missed it yesterday, I mentioned you. I was in the court room Friday as a show of support for my boss. I posted it gave me PTSD because the last time I was in the courtroom I had an orange jumpsuit on and matching bracelets thanks to you driving all the way to Ohio to bring me back to face charges. Yes I remembered that story you told a long time ago.

I have used nudis in the past but have an aptasia eating filefish in 4 systems. Aptasia in the oveflows but none in the systems.
Same with bubble algae. Emerald crabs in the system keep it confined to overflows, powerheads, and sumps.
Cleaned the 6255's today during my monthly 5% WC.
Bubbles gathered in their masses, just like withces at blackmasses, lol.

Paul,

Did you get the email ad from Bluetti for the fridge power? I thought it was pretty neat that they showed it running a fridge and an FW tank and something else, maybe a light?

These two knuckleheads have to be the most entertaining two fish in my tank, not most colorful or eye catching but I can watch them all day. Tim, they grow fast, I’d say the big one has grown an inch from when I got it. Must be a lot of nutrition in the live sand from TBS.
