She’s battle-scarred lol, the yellow wrasse has an attitude now that’s he’s turned male, and likes to nip at her.

These two are so hard to get a picture of because they are darker colored and so quick. These were the best pictures I could get...

This thing is growing sooo slow... it’s finally starting to reach down towards the rock after 2 years.

I’ve always been a fan of T5 lighting from my start in the hobby, and I have to say I’m not at all disappointed with the “new to me” light. All the corals are coloring up great with nice PE. It’s funny how we mix things up as we go, but always seem to come full circle [emoji23]

Look who finally popped out of the sand...after 7 weeks!

The yellow wrasse, potters angel, female clown, and regal angel were all chasing and flashing at him in turns so I scooped him into the acclimation box for a while to rest and eat in piece. He was definitely hungry, gobbled up some mysis and NLS pellets. I’ll keep him in there for a day or two and see if things settle down.

Getting close to two years running!

This guy is still touch and go, was out eating today- so I’m still rooting for him. There’s a chance he might still need to be relocated, I’m going to give it a couple more days and then decide.

Of course the chrysus was being a jerk still, and the potters. I fed the fight out of them though...lol. Here comes the algae [emoji12]

The two wrasses made it through QT, copperband unfortunately did not. So he’s still on my “wish list”.

Current fish resident list:
c. jordani
c. lineatus
c. isosceles
m. negrosensis
m. moyeri
m. meleagris
h. chrysus
a. clarkii (2)
p. diacanthus
c. potteri
s. splendidus

I think the moyer’s thinks he is a fairy wrasse... he likes to follow them around. Pretty funny to watch.

Everyone is getting along great, except the clowns who are jerks to everybody else. I might end up trying to catch them and swap them out with the pair of percula clowns from my other tank, haven’t decided yet.

You really take some beautiful pictures. Fish and tank look amazing.



Thank you! I only have my iphone to work with... you don’t want to know how many pictures I delete to get the few I’m able to post lol

You are just rubbing it in. My iPhone pictures are never that stunning.
I've been catching up on your thread, you have some pretty nice photos in there... love the midas blenny! I'd like to have one, but the idea was vetoed by my other half... he indulges my wrasse obsession though so I can't complain too much ;)

This isn’t a very good photo, but I want to keep track of this guy. It’s a pearlberry frag I picked up recently, pretty hard to come by around my area anymore.
