Fudsey's 135.4 Box of Water

[Scurvy]

For those interested in the Nori talk. This is what Ive started feeding. Stays together quite nicely on the clip. I fold 4”x2” piece over and over until its about 3/4” in size total.

Whats with the FU-FU nori? trying to keep Phosphates down ?

Just cheaper, more in a package and for me almost all my fish hit it where only the Tangs picked at the aquarium branded stuff.

Ya I go at it with my lightning maroon, She chases me I chase her. Then I host the Nem for a few, after that she will leave me alone till the next time. I wonder if Clairol has lightning Maroon in a box

Took me a while to find that vid but your right. All the pics I have of her at that time she was clenching her fins and couldn't make it out but in the vid you can see the dark spot.

Snow? Still? It's been 70-80 all week down here.

And I agree, that's definitely a shim wrasse.

That’s the 2nd time I’ve traded away a Halichoeres wrasse just before it transitioned. 1st was a Red Lined to the LFS. He got a little grumpy in my old tank and started harassing the Leopard wrasse so I brought him to the LFS. Went back a couple weeks later and it was a completely different fish. Color explosion!

I’m happy this time I get to see the old guy thrive on in your tank Fudsey.

I got mine as a male, and my black leopard let's him know not to mess with her. He gets first dibs at the nori clip, but the other fish don't really take any crap from him either. It's a nice balance.

I’m sure mine was acting out due to the transition beginning but at the time I couldn’t recognize it. had I waited it out I wonder if he would have fallen back in line. I always enjoy watching them sort out the pecking order whenever a new addition comes in.

I would love a leopard to go along with shim. She occasionally gets chased by the 2 spot tang but then will turn around and give it right back, pecking at her side. No injuries, just a peck. No one messes with the foxface. He'll flash his spines and usually they back off. He does like to chase the 2 spot sometimes though. Putting a new piece of nori in the pouch is fun to see. There is usually a ring of old stuff on the clip and I'll drop it in in pieces to allow others to get some too. The foxface will gobble up the 1st piece fast and go for any more. If the 2 spot gets one, she'll turn and swim away while munching it. He goes for it but she sucks it in before he can take it away. He's a pig

I'm not very good at fish names, that is a very pretty wrasse.

[Scurvy]

If you’re serious I’ll grab the tickets. Don’t need the answer today but figure If you have a month to plan we could pull it off.

Anyone else that may be going? Not too for @NY_Caveman or @RichtheReefer21 .... Roadtrip anyone?
