Not yet! Need my easy sps to grow for my future gobiodon okinawae!

I did find an LFS that quarantines all of their fish for two weeks before putting them up for sale so I won’t need to have one shipped to me.
That's pretty awesome you have a lfs that does that, considering most of them don't!
 
My ultimate goal in reefing is to own another Tanaka Possum wrasse

Since 15 years ago - I always have a possum wrasse. The one I have now is the two banded Wetmorella nigropinnata

Just picked up a blue star wrasse yesterday that I had my lfs order for me. She’s striking.

Yes the female are striking - I had one for many years before it transform itself into a male that was more beautiful than the female

There is always a G. okinawae in my aquariums - its a wonderful fish

Yellow-tailed tamarin wrasse. If you had one, there is no need to explain. Mine carpet surfed after 3 years

 
I have a lot of other peoples holy grail fishes - Copper-band, fathead anthias, hawk anthias, up-side down gobies, Blue Reef Guard / Blue Devilfish as examples but my very holy grail is Oxymonacanthus longirostris because I want it and have not succeeded with it yet. But - I have a plan 😂

My closest couple of LFS just do plastic bag to store-display-tank so I am thankful to have found this one!
 
Yes, by accident. We have an 8’ tank and wanted a couple of Pomacanthus angels. The Annularis is my favorite. One lfs sells pre-quarantined captive bred fish, so we went there. They had an Annularis, but the price was too high, so we settled for a Majestic instead. Six months later, the Majestic Angel starts developing these beautiful diagonal blue stripes and a blues circle on its head. The lfs sent us home with the wrong fish, so we got our Annularis.
